It wasn't until they were almost home that Dean realized Seth wouldn't be responding as Smackdown was currently running. He wondered if Roman remembered that, because Dean hadn't even realized until just now.

"Smackdown's on, Ro."

"Yeah." Roman didn't say anything more, but his tired voice was enough to stop Dean from saying anything else for the time being.
