Samuel put the phone down, unable to keep his smile on his face as he turned to Deanna who was sitting on the couch, book in hand watching him.
"I'm guessing you got good news?" she asked him, raising an eyebrow.
"The Winchesters have invited us to dinner." Samuel told her, sitting down next to her. "The entire family, as a small thank you for hosting John here."
"Not like we're actually hosting him considering how much time he spends at Marys." Deanna hummed, sipping her tea and putting it back to the side. "When was the last time you actually saw him?"
"I think three days ago when he took the rest of his belongings and went to Marys." Samuel said, shaking his head. "Do they actually think they're being slick or have they given up on trying to hide anything?"
Deanna shrugged, marking her place in the book and setting it next to the tea. "What do you think they're doing over there?"
"Well taking everything into consideration, I don't think anything improper is happening, they were both raised better than that." Samuel mused. "But if he's staying there for so long and in such a way, that means that Dean likes him as well as Mary."
"Which makes your convoluted plan a lot easier." Deanna pointed out. "It all rests on not just John and Mary but John and Dean."
Samuel nodded in agreement. "So everything is going to ride on the dinner, its formal and in two days." he added. "We'll need to make sure that Dean has a little suit and Mary has an appropriate dress."
"Deans going to be overwhelmed." Deanna said, already lost in the thought of her little grandson all dressed up. "And as much as I don't like putting him in a stressful situation, it will be nice to see how John and Mary would work together for that."
"So then here we go, Campbells and Winchesters coming together for dinner. Hunters and Letters, together under the same roof." Smauel said, a touch dramatic. "Deanna, we're going to bring the two parts together."
"They might say no." Deanna pointed out. "Or John and Mary will just want to remain as friends."
Samuel paused at that, considering and letting that thought roll over in his head. "Do you think they are only friends?"
"It's a possibility, the intricate friendship between men and women are something that could happen. Men and women don't need to be dating in order to be together." Deanna said, reaching for her tea and drinking it, wrapping her hands around it on her lap.
Samuel considered that and then shook his head. "No, I've seen them look at one another, I don't think it's friendship brewing there."
Deanna shrugged, drinking her tea and watching him over the rim of her cup. "Whatever you say dear."
"So tomorrow night, after dinner and possibly during dessert, I'll bring up the fact that Henry owes me for personally working with John." Samuel said. "And the favor I'm calling in is for the both of them being able to court with one another, give them a possibility of actually dating one another."
"And if Henry says no?"
"I'll hold John hostage, he lives with Mary at the moment and I just won't let him leave." Samuel said, smiling after a moment. "No, we'll talk with them, find a way to convince them. I think this would be for the better."
"Maybe you should bring this up with Mary before anything?" Deanna suggested. "Before you do anything else?"
Samuel paused at that, realizing that perhaps yes, he should talk to his daughter before pushing her into another relationship. Again.
"I'll call her later tonight." Samuel said. "She's probably busy right now."
