Thursday rolled around. It was my birthday, or at least the day we had picked after the Greys had adopted me. I knew a party was planned, but wasn't s...re of the details. It wasn't a surprise party, but it had been made clear that I was to stay out of the way until it was time for the party to start.I was up early, and just home from my morning run when Emily finally called."Hey, Cas," she said when I picked up."Emily! How are you? I've been worried." I know. I'm ok, I guess. We got the news. He laid his head on his arms.She looked down at daddy and giggled, "What's the matter daddy?"He looked up at her and shook his head, grinning, knowing she was being very deliberate in how she was consuming her ice cream cone. His eyes slid down her body and suddenly noticed something."Oh my little girl, what have you done??

Even if I wanted to eat, I was too angry to order anything. Instead, I watched the sunset while I very quickly got drunk.. She could feel the moment he was about to pull away, and she grabbed his left hand with her right. So nervous she trembled slightly, she pulled his arm toward the hem of her soft grey skirt where it met with her right thigh. She looked into his eyes while she slowly pressed his fingers against the silky material of her stocking and pushed them up her leg until they met with the lace at the top, further until he found the top of the lace. His lips parted and he moved his right hand to her left.
