For a minute Cas’ feet seemed to be stuck on the ground, but as he saw Daphne running away, along with the opportunity of a lifetime with her, he forced himself to move.
However as he tried to reach her, he felt a firm grip on his upper arm and the suivant moment he and Meg were standing suivant to the swimming pool.
“What in God’s name do toi think you’re doing?” Cas asked furious.
“I am saving toi from the biggest mistake in your life” Meg said. “You don’t want to marry that girl”
“Because I want to marry you? Is that what you’re trying to say?” Cas asked still angry.
“No!...

Cas was standing suivant to the altar, waiting for Daphne to come. As the musique started she appeared and walked over the aisle. She looked at Cas only, happier than ever. Mr. Allen was walking with her and though he tried, he didn’t even look half as happy as his daughter. If anything, he looked tensed. But maybe that was just a father thing. It’s never easy to let your children go.
As soon as Daphne was standing in front of Cas the priest started talking. While he was doing that, Cas looked around him and was somewhat relieved to see Meg sitting in the audience. At least one familiar face....

Zoey was still lying in lit when Alexia jumped on the bed. “Wake up, mom! toi have to get ready!” she a dit excited while she jumped up and down on the bed.
“Go away” Zoey muttered and she pulled the sheets over her head.
Alexia let herself fall on the lit and lifted up the sheet so she could see her mother’s face. “Did toi forget about the wedding?” she asked reproachful.
“No” Zoey said. “We’re just not going”
“But we have to go. Aunty Daphne will be so sad if we don’t” Alexia a dit a little upset.
“Aunty Daphne doesn’t like mommy very much right now” Zoey...

Cas walked downstairs, his suit in his arms, when he bumped into someone. “Watch out where you’re going” a slow, familiar and female voice said.
“What are toi doing here?” Cas asked.
“Saving you” Meg a dit smug. “I saw toi walking into the house and well, I know a thing ou two about weddings. No celebration before the ceremony. No seeing the bride before the ceremony. I bet your Daphne Dearest is now going all crazy”
“You shouldn’t be here” Cas said, looking around, hoping no one would see them together.
“You’re absolutely right” Meg nodded. “But neither should you....

Daphne was in her bedroom putting on her dress, while Mrs. Allen was helping her.
“Can toi try to keep still?” Mrs. Allen a dit reproaching. She was trying to zip the dress.
“I look fat in this dress” Daphne said. Mrs. Allen rolled her eyes.
“You look beautiful, dear” she said. “Every woman will be jealous and all men will want to marry you”
“Thank you, mom” Daphne smiled nervous. “But I’m only going to marry one”
“I hope so” Mrs. Allen laughed. She took some hairpins and used them to put Daphne’s hair up. “Let me see that” she ordered and Daphne turned around....

Mitch, a tall, tanned man with black, spiky hair and hazel eyes opened the door of château Café and entered. The first thing he noticed was a man lying on the ground at the bar. He sighed and walked to the man. He kicked him softly. “Sir, wake up. We open in two hours”
Cas opened his eyes and suddenly felt how soar he was. He squeezed his eyes and looked at Mitch. “Who are you?” he asked.
Mitch rolled his eyes, grabbed Cas’ upper arm and lifted him on his feet. “There toi go” he said.
“You are strong” Cas noted admirable.
Mitch frowned and looked away, not knowing what to think...

Cas opened the door of The château Café and entered the seemingly empty establishment. “Hello?” he called, but no one responded.
Maybe he was too late. But Andy had called him only five minutes ago. Surely they would montrer plus patience than that.
“They’re not coming”
Cas turned around and saw Meg standing at a table, tableau in the left corner.
“You must be mistaken. Daphne’s cousin has summoned me here” he said. Meg shook her head. “No, Emmanuel, they played a prank on you” she said, while she slowly walked his way.
“Why would they do that?” Cas asked, sounding hurt.
“Maybe...

Andy and his Friends were sitting in a bar. There was no one but them. Andy was holding his phone in his hands and looked from lincoln to Justin. “You guys really want to do this?”
Lincoln waved with his taped hand and shot Andy an angry look.
“I’ll take that as a yes” Andy a dit and he dialed a number.
At Daphne’s house the phone started ringing. Cas, who was still awake, lifted his head. He had heard this sound before and he had seen how Daphne ou Zoey had responded to it. There was absolutely nothing to it. And so he walked toward the ringing object and picked up the horn.
“Hello?”...

Cas was cleaning up the mess the guests had left behind when he saw Daphne’s reflection in the mirror. He looked down and put the glasses in the sink.
“Emmanuel” Daphne a dit soft. Cas didn’t respond. “Emmanuel, look at me” Cas reluctantly turned around, but still didn’t look at her.
Daphne took his face in her hands, forcing him to look up. “Emmanuel, honey, I am so sorry for yelling at you. Please believe me”
The look in his eyes made her step back. “You’re not afraid of me, are you?” she asked slowly. Cas didn’t answer that question.
“You should consider your actions...

When Cas entered the living room, Daphne was sitting on the couch, her parents sitting at both sides. She was just blowing her nose when Cas came their way.
“Daphne, I feel regret for the misery I have caused. I don’t want toi to fight with your sister. toi need her and she needs you. Perhaps toi should get in contact with her and try make things right” he said.
Daphne wiped her eyes, but it was no use; the tears just kept rolling.
“I can clearly see the récent events have influenced your mood” Cas a dit sad. “Maybe we should leave these people and go to a plus entertaining companion”...

Daphne rushed into the living room and looked for her sister. Once she found her she headed to her and before Zoey could even blink Daphne had lifted her hand and slapped her. Someone gasped, but it wasn’t Zoey.
“Daphne, what is going on?” Mrs. Allen demanded to know. Daphne rotated her head to her mother. “Why don’t toi ask this slut?” she said. Another gasp. “Daphne, this is no way to talk in front of guests” Mrs. Allen reproached.
“What’s the matter, mom?” Daphne asked scornful. “Afraid I will spike your little balloon and everyone will see who sweet Zoey really is?...

Cas and Zoey carried the luggage upstairs to the spare room, which was across Daphne’s room. Zoey put down the luggage and threw herself on the bed. Cas stared at her, unsure whether he should stay ou leave.
“Come here” Zoey a dit and she tapped on the bed.
Cas slowly walked to the lit and sat down, looking as if he was sitting on needles.
“You really need to stop looking like that” Zoey said. “I won’t bite. And besides, you’re the one with the super strength and the magic fingers” She looked at him. “Daphne told me what toi did. toi saved her life and mine. I owe toi an...

“Where’s Zoey?” was the first thing Daphne asked.
“She’s at the hospital” a nurse said. “She’ll be alright, but toi need to go too, for a checkup”
Daphne shook her head. “I feel fine” she mumbled. She looked down and realized she was naked under the sheet. She looked helpless at Cas. He wrapped the sheet around Daphne’s body like a dress and lifted her in his arms.
The crowd parted when he came their way and walked past them.
Twelve secondes later they were home. The door was still open and Cas carried Daphne over the doorstep. He carried her upstairs to the third room...

For the seconde time that jour someone was ringing the bell. Cas walked in the hallway and stared at the door. “Daphne and Zoey are not here. Maybe toi should come back at a plus appropriate time”
“Emmanuel, open the door”
It was Meg and she sounded scared to death. Cas quickly opened the door and looked at a terrified Meg. Before he could ask what was going on she threw herself in his arms and started crying. Cas, not knowing what else to do, tapped her on her back.
“This feels rather uncomfortable” Cas a dit difficult. “Perhaps toi could let go of me?”
Meg let go and took a step...

Zoey was driving on Front Street. They were almost home. Daphne hadn’t a dit a word during the entire ride. Not because she was still angry, but her migraine had gotten worse.
“Can toi give me one of those muffins? I’m hungry” Zoey said.
“How, for the l’amour of God, can toi be thinking of nourriture right now?” Daphne mumbled and with her eyes closed she searched for the box.
“You’re going to have to take a peek, I put it on the backseat” Zoey said.
Daphne groaned and opened her eyes. She turned around on her siège and lifted the box from the backseat. She opened it and lay it on Zoey’s...

Daphne and Zoey were drinking coffee in Starbucks, at 62 Founders Parkway. Daphne had ordered some donuts with it. Taking your own snacks was against the rules of the house, so they had left the box in the car.
“You’re going to eat those?” Zoey asked, nodding at the donuts.
“No, I’m going to take them to Mrs. Fueller and shove them up her big, fat butt” Daphne a dit angry.
“Well, that would be a waste” Zoey said.
Daphne rubbed her eyes. “I’m not feeling very well. I think I’m getting a migraine” she said.
“You want to go home?” Zoey asked.
Daphne nodded. “Yeah, just...

Someone knocked the door and Cas jumped up. He wasn’t supposed to let strangers in. But the person outside kept knocking and ringing, so Cas shuffled the hallway in.
“Who’s there?” he asked.
“It’s me, Meg” the person outside said. “From across the street? I brought toi a plate with muffins earlier”
The door opened.
“I know you” Cas said. “You’re not a stranger, toi can come in”
“Thank you” Meg a dit sweet and she smiled as he let her pass. She entered the sitting room and turned around. “Okay, confession, I waited until your girlfriend left before I came up here....

Daphne parked her car at 309 Jerry rue Suite 202. She and Zoey, who was carrying the box, stepped out of the car and walked towards a building with the name ‘Hope’s Promise’ on it. As they were walking an older woman came their way.
“Daphne, how lovely it is to see toi again. The children have missed you” she a dit and she lay her hand on Daphne’s cheek.
“Not as much as I missed them” Daphne smiled.
“Zoey, how are you, my dear?” the woman asked, taking Zoey’s hands in hers.
“Oh, well toi know, trying to save my soul from eternal doom” Zoey replied sarcastic.
“Keep...

Two hours later Daphne was baking cookies, while Cas was staring at the screen of Daphne’s laptop.
“How do I turn it on?” he asked careful; Zoey was in the room. She walked towards him and pointed at the start button. “This button” she a dit polite. She was still shaking from Cas’ last move. She’d had no idea he could be that strong.
“Thank you” Cas said. He looked up with chiot eyes. “Is your shoulder still hurting?”
“I’ll live” Zoey a dit soft.
“It was not my intention to cause toi pain. My first priority was protecting Daphne” Cas explained.
Zoey raised her hand....

Cas and Daphne were sitting on the couch, when Zoey came in. Cas quickly looked up, but Daphne kept her eyes on the photo album, lying on her lap.
“I see toi two are talking again” Zoey a dit and she sounded a little disappointed.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about” Daphne mumbled. She lifted her head and gave Cas a Kiss on the cheek.
“I saw Shannen in the bakery today” Zoey said. “She’s my daughter’s babysitter, FYI” she a dit to Cas.
“Okay” Cas said. He always felt uncomfortable in Zoey’s presence.
“You’ll get to see her soon” Daphne smiled. “You’re...
