Things are still good with Buffy. I enjoy her company and I think, at least, Cassie seems to be fond of her. There's a definite age difference that seems to be concerning to some but I find Buffy to be refreshing and, in some ways, less jaded than myself. Of course, in other ways, in a great many other ways, Buffy's more jaded than I am. She has to be.
And Cassie. I never imagined Cassie to be a close friend, not with our age difference, but it's so different here with her close to my age. We're within ten years now and she's more like a little sister than a niece and it's a shift I'm not yet used to. I worry about her relationship, tumultuous as it is, and hope she can find some kind of resolution. I don't like seeing her upset, not in the least.
