August 16th excerpt:

“Dude, I don’t … want to be here,” Jacob pointed out, stuck at a crossroads between nervous and defiant. “Let me leave!”

Sam arched an eyebrow. “You don’t?” he asked, a playful grin on his face. He leaned forward and nudged Jacob in the side to get a reaction. “Well, once I get some answers, we can revisit whether you stay. For now, you’re sticking close to me. Where I can see you.” The sparkle in his eyes challenged Jacob to defy him.

November 28th excerpt:

Keeping himself down below the level of the collar, Sam carefully put one foot in front of the other. The neckline of the shirt John was wearing under the jacket gave him a place to plant his boots, and all he had to do was not slip down the edge of the cliff John’s back became. Sam’s pulse quickened. Just like at home, he encouraged himself, calling to mind all the daredevil stunts he’d pulled on Dean over and over again.

After he reached the halfway point, Sam pushed himself off harder, clambering at last to John’s other shoulder.
