Lily moved the spaghetti around her plate in circles. She wasn't hungry or interested in even being here and for the most part Logan was doing the talking. But after a bit, he noticed Lily and he too began to sulk. Lily saw her mother's expression; she was worried and uncomfortable, so she brought a conversation up.

"Lily's a straight A student, does great in school." Laney said. "Tell them about school, Lily."

"There's not much to tell." Lily muttered.

"She's just modest." Laney said. "She won an essay contest, what did you write it about? I can't remember."

"That's because you didn't go." Lily said, pointedly "I wrote about folklore and mythology.."

"Yeah, she just loves that stuff." Laney said. Lily could tell she was grasping at straws to get the conversation going.

"You have a nice dog." Sam said. "What's her name?"

"His name is Demon." Lily said.

"Oh." Sam said.

"And it's totally cruel that he's supposed to stay outside where it's dark and cold." Lily said, eyeing her mother.

"There's a spot under the porch where he can sleep, Lily." Laney said.

Lily let the subject drop. She knew the moment Laney went to sleep she'd let him in, she always did.

"What about you, what's your job?" Lily asked. She was referring to Dean and Sam but she looked at neither of them when she spoke.

"We sort of just travel." Sam said. "You know, get work where we can."

Lily looked away, uninterested.

The dinner seemed to edge along but eventually it did end and Laney suggested they drink coffee in the living room.

"Why don't you show Dean your room, Lily?" Laney said.

Lily stood up and walked silently to her room, Dean behind her.

"This is my room." Lily said, in a monotone voice. "That's my bed, that's Logan's'."

"You like classic rock?" Dean asked, gesturing to the poster of ACDC and the Clash on the wall.

"Yeah." Lily said.

Dean pointed to a few drawings.

"You make those?"

Lily nodded.

"They're really good."

"Yeah." Lily said.

"So you know, I was thinking." Dean said, pausing. "We should maybe catch a movie or something."

"Why?" Lily asked.

"I don't know." Dean said, lamely.

"Look, I get it. You're my dad or whatever." Lily said. "But you don't owe me anything, I've lived this long without a dad and I don't need one now. You can go, it's fine. I won't be hurt."

"Maybe I want to get to know you." Dean said. "I didn't know about you, Lily, but if I had, I would have been here. I would have been a good Dad."

Lily's eyes softened a little.

"A movie would be good." Lily said.

They headed back to the living room, Logan was lying on one end of the couch watching cartoons, Sam was in a chair and Laney was in the kitchen.

"Well, we'd better get going." Dean said. "But, I'll leave you my number so you can call me when you want to get that movie."

"Okay." Lily said, taking the small piece of paper. "Thanks."

Laney didn't even wait ten minutes before they left and she was going to the bar.

"Watch out for Logan." Laney said, giving Logan a kiss on the head and heading out the door.

Lily frowned as she walked to the backdoor and let Demon in, the dog hurried to the couch and climbed up.

"What do you think?" Logan asked, following after Lily.

"About what?" Lily asked.

"Your Dad."

"I don't know." Lily said. "I want you to go take a bath while I clean up the kitchen."

"Do I have too?" Logan asked.

"Yeah, you do." Lily said, putting the leftover food in a bowl.

Logan walked away.

Lily was deep in thought as she did the dishes and tidied up the kitchen, finally she walked into the living room where Demon was.

"I know he means well, but I don't like him. I don't want him." Lily said, more to herself. "I just want him to go away, Demon. Go far away and never come back."

Demon seemed to be listening and after a minute he stood up and started to whine at the backdoor, eventually Lily got up and opened it, he took off into the night.
