Daphne searched the room for an escape, realized there was none and then laughed nervously at Cas. “Sweetie, why don’t we…why don’t we go upstairs and talk about this?” she suggested.
“Why can’t あなた tell me right here? Is the truth so upsetting あなた think I might do something to embarrass あなた and myself?” Cas asked.
“If あなた mean causing a scene, you’ve already done a great job of that” Daphne 発言しました and she took his arm. “Come on, let’s go”
She dragged Cas upstairs to her room and locked the door. She turned around. “This better be good, Emmanuel. Now tell me, what did I supposedly lie about?”
Cas coughed. “You told me your sister and her husband were divorced. But Alexia 発言しました it’s not true. She says Zoey is here to take care of you. Is there something あなた haven’t told me that I need to know”
Daphne face’s stiffened and she tried to avoid looking at her fiancé. Cas made a few steps towards her. “I hope あなた know that I’m here for you, come what may. Whatever nightmares you’ve been through, whatever horrors あなた might have caused, I am here for you” he promised.
“Don’t do that” Daphne 発言しました hoarse. She failed to hide her tears. “Don’t be so nice to me” She looked up. “You really have no idea what you’re getting yourself into”
“Then tell me” Cas said.
Daphne dried her eyes and sniffed.
“When Martin died I headed down a really bad road. Zoey wasn’t the one who started drinking, I was. And it was bad. If Zoey hadn’t put me into rehab I wouldn’t be standing here, talking to you. I was released three months 前 and Zoey suggested to keep an eye on me, to make sure I don’t fall into old habits”
“That means she’s a good sister, but not a very good mother” Cas said. “A mother doesn’t abandon her child for so long”
Daphne frowned. “Emmanuel, sweetie, don’t be so quick on the judgment, okay. Zoey is really doing the best she can”
Cas shook his head. “A mother doesn’t leave her child alone. And she doesn’t try to seduce her sister’s fiancé”
“What?” Daphne asked confused. Cas told Daphne what Zoey had done earlier that day. She turned around, unlocked the door, opened it, walked out of the room and smashed it.

The 次 morning
Cas opened the door of the house and helped Daphne inside. He guided her to the sitting room and put her gently down on the couch.
“You know, I’ve been thinking” Daphne said. “With あなた around I don’t need a car. Makes things a lot cheaper”
“Can I get あなた something?” Cas asked.
Daphne shook her head. “You’re here. That’s enough for now”
Cas wasn’t used to that much gratitude and he’d have to adjust to it.
“Actually” Daphne started. “Could あなた give me the phone? I need to call the locksmith to tell him I won’t be needing his services after all. I gave Zoey her key back”
Cas smiled weak. “I’m glad あなた made it up with each other”
