I didn't really like Cassie (felt that the actress didn't do her justice) but in this? I like. Now I can see the girl who would make Dean spill his guts, allow himself be vulnerable to her and see why he was still hoping that there was a future for them at the end of Route 66.

Kathleen Hudak is a marvelous foil to explore all that you have unfolded in this fic. Beautifully done.
