Loved Dean sanitizing the grill before using it and eyeing the diving board and immediately thinking tetanus. As a kid I spent many a summer in this type of motel, so this really resonated! I could really feel the heat and the sweat here and then, Dean's flashback added some lovely character depth. Enjoyed this a lot! :D
Poor Dean, he's always carried such a weight of responsibilty on his shoulders. This bit made my heart ache for him...
"But then the even more hushed comments had started, the “Where are the parents?” and “How old is Sam’s brother; why are they unsupervised?” and Dean had suddenly found himself hiding his face for different reasons.
Fuck them, he’d thought. We’re fine."
...it's sad that Dean's shield of bravado started forming at such an early age. I loved how Sam swimming took Dean right back to that moment.
