Sometimes, when he dreams, he sees her as she was. She wears a summer dress, hair long and flowing, with the widest grin in the world on her face.

She comes to him, takes his hand. Her comments but the opening one remain the same.

“Beautiful sunset,” she observes and he nods, replies, “That it was.”

Sometimes she asks about their children, about his parents. About where he thinks they’ll move next.

“Dean’s getting big,” he tells her. Or, “Sammy has the highest grade in his class.”

Often, she says, “Stop, John. This crusade in my name can’t end well.”

But he shakes his head, responds with, “I’m getting close, Mary. I can feel it. I have to end the thing that killed you.”

And she cups his face with her hands, meets his eyes with her huge, hazel gaze. “See our sons, John. See what you’re doing to them. How old are they now?”

“Dean just turned sixteen,” he replies.

“They need a father,” she says sadly. “They’ve already lost a mom. They don’t need a sergeant. And they don’t need a hunter. They need the man I married.”

John places his hands over hers and leans down, gently kisses her lips. He pulls back slightly and murmurs, “That man died with you.”

 

-  

 When he wakes, he remembers. He knows what she wanted for her boys, what she still wants for them.

 
And they’ll get it. After the hunt is through.
