Family Dinner | Ellen, Jo & Dean
@the-ramblin-man , @honor-in-truth
Jo wasn’t exactly looking forward to the night. She’d sort of sprung the night on both Dean and her mother, and she was sure there would be screaming before the night ended. That was exactly the reason she’d decided to leave Billie at home with a babysitter, where she’d be safely away from any fighting.
This would be Ellen’s first time seeing Dean since the two women had nearly died helping him. She had a very strong feeling Ellen wouldn’t be as willing to forgive the man as Jo herself had been. Jo only hoped that Ellen would understand that Dean was good for her, good for Billie. And that was all that mattered to Jo right now. She hadn’t exactly meant for Ellen to find out about Dean yet, they’d only been dating a few weeks so far, but Billie, excited about his visit, had spilled the beans about ‘Unca Dean’ spending the night and that she’d seen the two adults kissing and the next then Jo knew, Ellen was insisting on a dinner with the two of them.
As she walked towards the door to her mom’s front door, she desperately wished she’d brought a flash with her. She could really use a drink right now, a nice dose of liquid courage seemed pretty necessary. She was putting on a brave face, trying to convince Dean things would be alright, but she was sure he didn’t believe her. “You ready?” she asked, glancing to Dean for a moment before bringing a hand up to knock on the front door.
