Apple Pie Life

by Swellison

Dean sat in his booth, sipping a cup of coffee and idly watching the backwards M-E- -R-Y C-H- -I-S-T-M-A- lights blinking in the diner's window. His waitress, a blowsy blonde who'd greeted him with a perfunctory "Merry Christmas" returned, depositing a plate of apple pie a la mode.

Dean's glance flicked to his cell phone, resting on the table. Should I or shouldn't I?

"If you walk out that door, don't bother coming back!"

"'Never darken my doorway again', is that what you want, Dad? Fine!"

Sighing, Dean closed his cell and took a bite of pie. "Merry Christmas, Sammy."

A/N: Okay, if you read my Stanford drabbles, you'll see I doubled up on the title this time. And I'm rushing the holiday here, a little;-)
