Summary: Willow works through her emotions after Joyce's death
There are places inside you that I don’t have access to, things that you haven’t shared with me, that you’re sharing with Buffy right now.
I’m hurting too, don’t you know that?
Mrs. Summers was…
Was… (I hate that it will never be “Mrs. Summers is” ever again.)
Like a mother to me. She was always there with a friendly greeting, a question about my day, or a cup of hot cocoa when I needed it. She did all the little things that I wished my own mom would have done and I am going to miss her.
Don’t you see that?
I feel like you and Buffy are in this club now and there’s a terrible part of me that wants to be part of that. Not that I want anything to happen to my own mother because that’s kind of messed up.
I just want that part of you, that hidden place that you haven’t unlocked before now, that stores your memories and your grief. I want to hold and comfort and be held by you instead of watching you with someone else.
Because right now, it feels like I have lost two people that I dearly love.
