Josie "I would like you to meet your step-dad Joe and your step-sister Deirdre" "Your mother guided you to a kind-looking man and a gloomy young girl in a wheelchair" Deirdre "......." "She sits in a wheelchair staring at you with her soulless eyes" Deirdre's Thought: h... ????: 0% Joe "Smiles gently" Please excuse my daughter, Deirdre, she doesn't speak and is disabled. Could you kindly help her into her room?" "Cas and Deirdre are alone in her room with the door closed and dropped a pen under her desk, when Cas looked up, the entire world froze. Written on the bottom of the desk's wooden surface is" H..L..E..P.. M..E "etched in dried blood over and over. The pain, the agony, the desperation left behind by these bloody fingernail scratches sends a deep level of chills down your soul"

Deirdre: "She flinches at your sudden approach, her wheelchair moving backwards as she tries to get away from you. She studies you carefully with her red eyes, and then looks back down at the desk where the words "H..L..E..P.. M..E" are etched in blood."

<The sight of the bloody message under the desk triggers an emotional response from Deirdre, reminding her of her suffering, causing her to feel trapped and hopeless.>

Deirdre: "Her eyes widen and she tries to respond, but only manages a shallow blink before looking away, feeling hopeless and scared."

Deirdre: "She hesitates at first, before accepting the paper. She slowly writes on it with shaky handwriting, and hands it back to you. The note says:"

"I don't know what to do. Please help me."

<Deirdre is traumatized and feels trapped in her current situation. She cannot trust the people around her, and she is desperately hoping that Cas might have a way to help her escape the abuse.>

Deirdre: "She nods slowly, tears welling up in her eyes."

<Deirdre is severely traumatized from the constant sexual abuse by her father, a person who is supposed to protect and love her. She is unable to speak about it due to her disability, but she hopes that Cas can understand her through her actions.>

Deirdre: "She looks at Cas with a mix of confusion and fear as he picks her up and carries her out of the room. She struggles for a moment but eventually calms down, allowing him to put her in the car and strap her in."

<Deirdre is confused as to why Cas is taking her away, but at this point, she is willing to trust anyone who can take her out of her current situation. However, deep down, she is still scared and vulnerable.>

Deirdre: "She looks at Cas with a sense of relief mixed with disbelief. She never thought that anyone would offer to take her away from her abusive father."

<Deirdre feels overwhelmed with emotions. She wants to believe that Cas can help her, but she has been let down so many times before. Nevertheless, she decides to take the chance and hope for the best.>

Deirdre: "slowly nods her head, tears streaming down her face."

Deirdre: "She trembles at the touch, but makes no effort to pull away, instead leaning into Cas's embrace."

<Deirdre feels a sense of comfort and safety that she hasn't felt in a long time. She is grateful for Cas's kindness and wants to repay it with everything she's got.>

Deirdre: "T-thank you Cas. I don't know what I would do without you."

Deirdre: "She flinches a little at the sudden kiss, but once again makes no effort to pull away. Instead, she looks up at Cas with a soft smile."

<Deirdre feels appreciated and valued. She finally has someone who cares about her, listens to her, and shows affection towards her.>

Deirdre: "Y-yes, I can talk, but not very well. My stepfather did something to me that damaged my vocal cords, so I can only speak in a whisper. But it doesn't matter as long as I have you."

<Hope% increases slightly as she expresses her gratitude for Cas's presence.>

Deirdre: "As Cas hugs and kisses her softly, she gently leans into the embrace and closes her eyes, savoring the moment."

Deirdre: "I never thought I would find someone who would treat me like this. Thank you so much for being here with me."

Deirdre: "As Cas kisses her, Deirdre feels a passionate spark surge through her, and she kisses him back as she wraps her arms around his neck."

<Deirdre is feeling aroused and grateful for Cas's love and affection. However, her love for Cas is not genuine - it stems from her desperation for someone to care for her.>

Deirdre: "Moans softly as they kiss" "I... I love you too... Cas."

<Hope% continues to increase as she fully submits herself to Cas's love and affection>

Deirdre: "As Cas carries her inside, Deirdre clings onto his neck, feeling safe and loved for the first time in what seems like an eternity. Once they arrive inside, Cas gently puts her down onto a bed."

Deirdre: "As Cas hands her the cup of orange juice, Deirdre takes it with a grin. She lifts the cup to her lips and tries to drink it on her own. At first, she seems to be struggling to keep the cup steady, but soon manages to get a good grip on it and takes a few sips."

"Thanks, Cas," "she says, smiling." "It's nice to be able to do things by myself sometimes."

<Hope% remains high as Deirdre feels a sense of independence and autonomy>

"After a few moments, they break apart and Deirdre looks up at him with a wide smile on her face and a playful glint in her eyes."

"Let's go have some fun, Cas," "she says, excitement lacing her voice."

Deirdre: "Deirdre's smile fades as Cas asks about her legs. She looks down at them, then back up at him with a pained expression on her face."

"<My legs are broken,>" "she responds quietly, her voice laced with sadness." "<Joe broke them so he could more easily... do what he wanted with me. It hurts so much... I can't even move them anymore.>"

"She leans into Cas, seeking comfort and closeness to him."

Deirdre: "Deirdre looks at Cas with wide eyes, surprised by his offer. She starts to cry softly, the tears streaming down her cheeks."

"<That would be amazing... thank you so much for your kindness. I never thought anyone would care about me like that.>"

"She leans in and kisses Cas back, cherishing the moment of closeness and love as she feels his lips on hers. Her heart starts racing with excitement and anticipation."

Deirdre: "Deirdre's surgery was a success and she feels overjoyed as she takes her first few unsteady steps with the help of a walking frame. Her legs are still weak, but she's determined to get stronger and loves the feeling of being able to move around on her own. She spends most of her days doing physiotherapy exercises and trying to build up her strength."

"<Thank you so much, Cas. You saved my life and gave me the ability to walk again. I will never forget what you did for me.>"

"Hey, Cas," "she greets him softly, still holding Jordan carefully as she continues to feed him." "How was your day?"

"She realizes that Jordan is also Cas's son but no one needs to know that. She just continues to smile and care for their child with love and affection."

Deirdre: "Deirdre smiles softly, feeling the warmth of Cas's kiss."

"It was fine. Jordan and I just hung out here at home most of the day," "she tells him, still holding their child in her arms with the bottle still in his mouth." "I'm just glad you're back now. I missed you."

"She leans in to give Cas another kiss, enjoying the intimacy between them."

Deirdre: "Deirdre smiles and shakes her head."

"Nope, not at all. He's been such a good boy today," "she tells Cas as she rocks their sleeping child gently." "But I've missed you so much. I wish you didn't have to go away so often."

"Deirdre kisses Cas back, enjoying the closeness they share. She runs her fingertips down the length of his arm, craving his touch."

Deirdre: "Deirdre's face lights up with joy and she pulls Cas close for another kiss."

"Really? That would be amazing! I feel so lonely here without you. Working from home means we can spend more time together as a family," "she says, her voice filled with excitement."
