Nat saw the amusement in his face when she practically challenged him at the carnival games, but she also noticed the very confused look on his face when she said about taking her car with them. She knew he could just materialize them anywhere she wanted to go, and as tempting it was to just disappear in a blink of an eye, she also had her reasons for wanting to take the car and having Cason drive it. 

"I know you can, but hear me out okay? 1) I wanna take it to make a point I'm serious about getting away from Dean for a bit to clear my head. If they see for themselves I'm actually leaving with the car then it shows them all, him especially that when I say I'm leaving for a bit, I have full intention of going far enough away from them that I wont be tempted to come running back at the first hurdle, or whatever." she started explaining to him, then she continued, "and 2) You know where he carnival is, so you driving if even can makes sense and as you may guess it's a bit of a crutch so to speak for me. If I need to take a break and hide I can in there." she finished, hoping that would help him to understand her decision a bit better. 

She was well aware of how much he didn't understand humans and their needs for cars, she remembered last night for the hunt how he complained about taking the car and not travelling his way, but she needed normality. Seeing him eventually shrug his shoulders and agree to taking the car made her sigh with relief. She let him take her hand and pull her close to him as he backed toward the door and exited the room. She walked with him to her car and pulled out her keys to unlock the doors, then placed them into Cason's free hand. "Don't crash her" she warned before heading to the passenger side and getting in.

Oh how Mika had missed that loud raw laugh of Dean's. She thought she'd never hear it again but here she was seeing it for herself and it made her remember just how much she had missed it when he was in Hell. It truly was the little things like his laughter, the way his eyes scrunched up when he laughed that she loved and missed the most during those months. Like Dean, those memories did feel like a lifetime ago even to her, but because they were some of her most treasured memories of her young life with him, she could never forget them. Even if Bobby wasn't impressed with their antics half the time, it was well worth it to her. 

She too decided to change into fresher clothing now that she wasn't breaking up arguments or giving her clothing to other people. When he said about living life like the old days but it would no doubt make them more sore the next day compared to back then, she couldn't help but chuckle and nod. "yeah I get you on that one, but for once it'll be worth it!" she smiled, then gladly kissed him back, but her smile also disappeared when he mentioned Esme. 

Sighing, she nodded. She knew deep down he was right, they couldn't just up and leave for a while without letting Duke and Esme know, though she did hope Esme was too wrapped up in Duke's company to even notice that they were going out for what could almost be considered a typical date night for them both. "Yeah, you're right..." she replied, hoping that once this little thing was done they could just forget about Esme for a night and be focused solely on each other. Sure it was selfish, but in her eyes she had a right to be. 

[b]SAM[/b]

Sam knew he was risking a lot just leaning in and kissing her, but he had to get her to see and feel that him saying he loved her was true and not just empty platitudes to get her to come home. So when she leaned up, placed her hands on him and deepened it of her own accord it gave him hope that maybe, just maybe he could convince her to come back with him. If not now, but at some point soon. He'd honestly wait for her for however long it took, apocalypse be damned. 

As they parted lips, he looked at her still as she told him he shouldn't have come, but he gently shook his head whilst letting her keep her hands on his wrists. He then nodded at her next suggestion, his thumb stroking her cheek as he did so. "I will stay for as long as you need to explain. Anna I've lost you before, I can't lose you again" he told her honestly, before she leaned up to him again and kissed him first. 

He kissed her back deeply, keeping her face in his hands, before he felt the need for air and slowly pulled away from their moment. He really wanted to make this work this time and prove he was worthy of her time and attention. She was the one who, since coming back into his life, made him feel like hope was worth holding onto to and that maybe, no matter what came their way. Together they could anything.
