A childhood friend of Sam and Dean Winchester's is brutally murdered by a demon, leaving behind his two small children and pregnant wife. The boys are called over to assist her investigation in the murder because the demon has taken possession of a local boy who had disappeared the week prior. Dean knows the young widow from a hunt he and John went on shortly after Sammy went to school, but it's Sam who ends up developing a deep bond with her and her children. He denies all this, as he's painfully aware of what happens to any girl who grows to be sweet on him. (Note: Closure will be facing heavy editing following the completion of the story.) --#12 in #samwinchester tag (what?) as of 7/7/2019 --Entered in the 2019 Watty Awards as of 6/28/2019
