Willow's gone home.

[ the broadcast begins abruptly and buffy's voice is hard. not soft and vulnerable like when she had announced xander's disappearance. this is because she has had a full hour to herself in willow's now-empty room. she had gone in to set a batch of freshly laundered sheets on the witch's bed, all set out for when she came back

I'm sorry. I didn't get a chance to meet her, but if she's a friend of yours, I'm sure I missed out.

She's great...but -- at least she's dodged all this mess.

I'm not really a drinker. [ not usually, at least. and not since the social humiliation of getting drunk with a pirate, a doctor, and a navy-man. ] But the sentiment is appreciated.

How about a coffee, then? Not to brag, but I've been told repeatedly that I make amazing coffee.

A coffee sounds fab -- so long as you don't mind a girl who drinks it with all the cream and all the sugar.
