The demon who had been torturing Meg had left her and Cas alone for a moment, giving them, completely unintentional, the chance to say a few words to one another.
“Hmm” Meg sighed. “So…is this awkward or what?”
Cas didn’t respond.
“Okay, listen up, I usually don’t do this, so don’t get used to it” Meg said. She took a deep breath. “I’m sorry”
Cas widened his eyes and rotated his head to Meg, but Meg was looking eyes front.
“You know, for lying to you and not telling you who you are” she continued, feeling Cas’ eyes on her and so she rotated her head a well. “Believe it or not, I really was trying to protect you. And I hoped you would kill Crowley”
“I forgive you” Cas said.
“But what I don’t understand is that you didn’t say anything when you saw me with Dean” Meg said. “You know, when he found you in Colorado”
Cas looked down and up again. “I thought he was one of the men that were looking for me. You said that you and I just met that very moment and I assumed you lied, because you thought that if he knew we did know each other both our lives would be at stake”
“Good thinking” Meg said after a while.
They heard a cough and looked down.
“Don’t jump each other’s bones just yet”
The demon was back.
