[h2]Esme Stirling[/h2]

Esme’s attention was pulled from Cason as Dean came back through the door. She could see he was a man on a mission. She watched him ascend the stairs until he was out of sight. She dropped her gaze to Sarah, who she was still leaning against, and closed her eyes briefly with a sigh. She hoped Dean could work things out with Mika after everything that went on tonight, she’d hate to see their relationship ruined just because of what Cupid had done. She opened her eyes and looked back over at Cason. Just as he raised his hand to slap the sigil, Esme shielded her eyes from the bright light that emitted from the sigil as Cason slapped it. 

Then she heard the scream as it banished Cupid. Esme let her arm drop from her face and looked at Cason as he spoke. She couldn’t help but sigh in relief that Cupid was gone and wouldn’t be causing anymore problems for them. “Glad to hear it.” she mumbled as he wrapped up his hand. “I almost hate to say it, but that is music to my ears.” She then saw Natalia enter from the corner of her eye. She was hesitant to look at the woman after everything, even after she spoke to Cason. Though when she spoke to her, she slowly turned her gaze to Natalia, a soft look on her features. 

“You’re welcome.” she replied. “I only did what anyone with a heart would do.” She turned her gaze back to the stairs just as Sam came in and Natalia told him Dean and Mika were upstairs in their room. When Sam went up, her gaze dropped back to Sarah. What she told Natalia was true when she saw Dean that day. She couldn’t bring herself to leave him alone in the state she had found him in. She closed her eyes as the memory played behind her eyes of that day. He was so broken, and he was drowning himself in booze. The state of him pulled at her heartstrings and still did to this day. 

Anyone that would listen to him, he’d ask them to end his misery by killing him. He had even asked her. Esme shook her head softly to rid it of the memory and opened her eyes to see Sarah looking at her sadly. She patted the hound's side to let her know she was alright, which she responded to with a nuzzle to Esme’s side. She looked away from Sarah and looked around the room. It still looked like a disaster area from when the demons attacked, which made her think of when she had become a demon nuke. She was so ready for the day to end. She just wanted to find a bed, curl up in and go to sleep and forget everything. Would she even wake up tomorrow or would she sleep for several days after everything her emotions and Cupid had put her through today?
