Dean, who was leaning against the side of the car, peeled himself away from it. He smiled charmingly as he walked toward her.

"Do you have other plans for her birthday?"
"Well, my Second Brother prepared a simple family dinner for it," she said as she accepted the box. "Thanks!"
Dean blinked as if waiting for something. "No invite?"
