Dean nodded with a small smile, closing the door after her legs were safely in the car.  He tapped the window gently, as he always used to do when putting Sam in a car, and sighed at the memories, before quickly walking around to the passenger seat and getting in, himself.  Her car was slightly nicer than John’s, and much cleaner.  He gripped the steering wheel, rolling his hand around it before shoving the key in the ignition and starting it up with a rumble.

“It’s a ghost hunt…and we don’t hate each other.  How bad can it be?”, he joked, as they pulled out of Bobby’s place and out onto the open road.

Dean was a bit quiet for most of the first part of the drive, watching the mile markers as they got closer and closer to Minnesota.  The town they were headed to was closer to the border, which meant he didn’t have to be there long, if they could finish the job quickly.  He turned to Mika a bit as they reached the halfway point.

“You wanna drive at some point?  I’m good, if you’re good.”, he muttered, blinking his eyes from watching the road for so long.  He did his best to both watch the road and also trail his eyes down to her throat as more memories flooded in from their last run in.  The thought made his stomach drop a bit, and he swallowed heavily.

“I um…I can’t help but think of the last time we were here.  I mean…the last two days have been spectacular, you know?  But, regardless of who you were at the time, I hurt you, and I was so mad.  I shouldn’t have let myself get to that place.”, he explained, sighing heavily with a shudder, “I mean, at least Sam’s not here to add to things, right?”
