For the first time in years, she feels the need to get away from her family and clear her head a little. Dad lets her go without protest; he knows she'll be back, the trust between them is absolute. With Sam things are a little shaky; he makes her promise over and over. She probably should see what he's thinking then, but she doesn't. Two years from now his departure will still hit her like a bag of bricks.
She hotwires a Camaro-it's no Impala, but it'll have to do-and drives west while her dad and brother head south. They'll be in Florida clearing up some business with a banshee, then meet her in Ohio when they're done. That gives her five days to explore the world on her own. She decides to see five states, but she ends up spending all her time in Cicero, Indiana.
Lisa Braeden is a yoga teacher. She has big eyes, long dark hair, and a smile that does things to Dean's insides that she doesn't understand. And it's funny, she's only ever hit on men before; she never even gave other women a second thought.
After spending the three bendiest days of her life in Lisa's loft, Dean wonders why on Earth she never thought to go for women.
She doesn't tell Sam or Dad any of that, though. Nothing has ever been said, but for all that her life's foundations are more or less sinking sand, she still knows where the lines in that sand are drawn. She spent far too long earning Dad's trust to just blow it on something as silly as sex with the wrong people. Anyway, it's not like it'll ever be a problem. She doesn't stay in one place long enough for anybody to get attached, or to feel anything more than passing interest herself.
