Not Until We Are Lost

A few days after she’d gotten the information about Mary’s whereabouts from Cas, Jo finally realized that she’d put it off all she could. She needed to see her daughter. She also needed to track down Dean, but that would come next. She knew Mary’s location and maybe it would be better to see Mary first anyway.

Once inside the bar, she didn’t go straight up to the counter. She spotted Johnny behind it and Mary was weaving in and out of tables, delivering orders and chatting with customers. They both looked at home here. If one didn’t know better, it would be easy to believe that they’d always lived in this time period, and that they belonged here.

Jo took a seat at a table and simply watched and waited quietly for Mary to notice and approach her. She would want to talk to Johnny too but she needed to work up to it all. She still wasn’t sure how she felt about the fact that he’d practically whisked Mary away from that diner and now they were still together. She was glad that he was watching out for her kid, but she was also... well, she couldn’t help but wonder what his intentions were and what Mary’s intentions were. She didn’t want to see either of them hurt and there was a bit of an ‘ew’ factor about a friend of hers dating her daughter. Especially when you figured in how old he’d be in Mary’s time.
