Giles brought several potentials into Buffy’s home.
Spike sighed and looked at Giles. Then he quoted in a sad voice.
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.
Buffy saw that Giles seemed to understand what Spike just said, but she didn’t.
Giles explained it was a poem about how beauty is fleeting, but in this situation it was how
these young women would never grow old, but die young.
With tears in her eyes, Buffy nodded because she understood.
Slayers came with an expiration date.
