How did he miss it?!

hee. Sam was under the impression the demon was dead. He dreams of a blond on the ceiling, wakes up freaking out and his brain deciedes it must have been Jess because nothing else would make sense. Or that's how it was supposed to come across...

I'm not planning on writing more, but you never know.
