When I woke up, Dean was sleeping on the sofa. I heard the clink-clanking noises of someone preparing something in the kitchen. I looked around the corner and saw Sienna moving around. The pot had been removed from the fireplace so I figured she was working on making herself a warm meal.

Penn wasn’t around and neither was Owen. I didn’t want to wake Dean to ask, so I climbed the stairs as softly as I could, trying not to let the old wooden steps creak underneath me. The door had been left open so when I was almost to the top I could see inside the bedroom. I saw that Penn had fallen asleep on the bed and Owen was pacing the room trying to look out both windows at the same time.

“Hi,” I whispered, “I was checking to see where everyone was.” I turned to go back downstairs not wanting to wake Penn up. We all had a lot of rest to catch up on.

“You know he’s done nothing but worry about you,” Owen said not bothering to turn to look at me.

“Sorry?”

“He’s been sick over it. Forgive me, I love Ryan, but Dean… he… I don’t know what to say about it. I probably should just mind my own business. You’ll figure it out.”

“I don’t want to hurt either of them,” I said looking at my hands that were still dirty from our travels last night.

“I know you don’t. There were nights… we were sure you and Ryan were both dead. Dean really struggled with that, well, we all did, but for him it was different, especially when it came to you. Our time on this earth is really, um, limited you know? Now more than ever before,” Owen said, and I was pretty sure I knew what he was trying to say. And part of me felt he was right.

“Yeah,” I said crossing my arms in front of me as if I was trying to hide something.

“Just think about it,” Owen said only glancing at me for a second. He didn’t want to keep his eyes away from the windows any longer than that.

“I will,” I said not bothering to tell him I already had been. It felt like my stomach was filled with a thousand bubbles because I shouldn’t have been thinking about anything other than finding Ryan, outrunning HOME, and surviving.

I nodded and walked back down the stairs letting his words sink in. I wondered if what Owen said meant that he didn’t think we’d find Ryan, or if it was just based on what he had seen Dean go through. He must have looked over the files while he was up there. Or maybe Dean had already talked to him about what we had found while I was sleeping. Even if he knew Ryan was likely alive he still practically outed Dean’s feelings for me. Little did he know I already knew how Dean felt. I hadn’t known exactly to what extent
