Giles loved the way Fred's voice sounded. It seemed to float in the car and it made him smile. Hearing her talking about her past made Giles think of how their pasts were so different. It intrigued him and when she said she had intended on majoring in history, he grinned. He was a history major himself before his life took a turn too. Perhaps they were old souls, meant to be together.
When Fred told him about Professor Siedel, Giles felt his veins go cold. It made him angry that someone who Fred trusted would hurt her. "God, Fred," he whispered as he held her hand even tighter. "I'm so sorry that happened to you." Being betrayed by someone you trust hurt more than being betrayed by a casual friend.
"I know how it feels," he said, thinking about all the times Ethan had lied to him and how other people had gotten hurt because of it. "You so strong and amazing, Fred. You survived something that most people wouldn't. And you came out of it with yourself in tact. No one can ever take away your spirit, not even some ruddy professor who was jealous of your gifts."
The city limits of London came into view and Giles slowed down. He glanced over at Fred and softly stroked her cheek. "All right, love?" he quietly asked.
