Your phone buzzed on the table beside you, the screen lighting up in the dimly lit room. Without much thought, you reached for the phone, a small smile tugging at the corner of your lips when you saw who the message was from.

Hey, we just got done with set. I’m on my way home now.

You could practically hear his voice in the words. A mix of exhaustion and relief after what must have been a long day of filming. You knew the late nights on set were starting to wear on him, but he always made time to text you, to check in even if it was just something simple like this.

Can’t wait to see you. It was a long day. Sam had to go through lots of emotional scenes. I’m beat.

You could picture it clearly, Jared in full Sam Winchester mode, pushing through whatever intense scene the day had thrown at him. The dedication he put into his role always amazed you. Those last words lingered in your mind, and you found yourself smiling at the screen like an idiot. It was moments like these that made the distance and the long days apart feel a little more bearable. Even when he wasn’t physically with you, he still found ways to make you feel close to him.
