Mary wanted to meet River - something she hadn't done quite yet despite being in the Inn for a few months now. She also wanted to have her sons sit down in the same room with her and yes, a part of her hoped it might feel like it used to.. even if family dinners back home had Sam throwing food on the floor and Dean making fart jokes.
With help, she had roast beef prepared with salad, mashed potatoes, peas and carrots, bread, and for dessert there was, of course, blueberry pie.
She scolded herself for being nervous as she arranged the place settings. Nothing formal, but she wanted it to look nice. Like home. She felt silly thinking about it that way, but she couldn't help it. She told the boys to come in when they got here. They didn't need to knock. She wanted her room to feel like home for them, even if they were grown up.
