The next morning.
The door of Cas’ room opened and nurse Abby walked in. Cas was lying on bed and at first she thought he was asleep. But when she walked closer to the bed she saw his eyes were wide open. If it wasn’t for the sound of his breath she would’ve sworn he was dead.
“Good morning, Cas” Abby said friendly after she opened the curtains. “It’s been snowing last night. Come and see”
Cas didn’t move.
“Are you ready for breakfast?” Abby asked. Cas wanted to say he wasn’t hungry and that he’d rather stay in his room, far away from everyone else. “Doctor Whedon think it would be good if you’re surrounded by other people”
Cas understood he didn’t have much of a choice and so he stood. Abby offered him her arm and Cas reluctantly accepted it. There was really only one woman he wanted to share arms with, but she was gone. And Cas didn’t know where the refectory was. So Abby walked him to it.
As they walked through the aisle of the refectory, Cas felt several eyes on him. Abby reproached them and told them to eat their breakfast.
She stopped at a single table against the wall. There was a plate on it with two sandwiches and a glass of milk. Cas felt like he was treated like a baby, but he didn’t really care. He wasn’t going to eat much anyway.
