Author’s Notes: This was written for
open_on_sunday’s current prompt, denial.
Buffy wondered sometimes where Faith was getting the money for the motel room. How she was eating.
Buffy wondered sometimes where Faith was from. Where her father had been. What her mother was like, other than drunk.
Buffy wondered sometimes where Faith had learnt that her sexuality was the first and best approach to meeting people and making them like her.
Mostly, though, she invited Faith over for dinner occasionally and slayed with her and tried not to think about what Faith might need. If she did, she’d have to notice the invitation in those dark eyes and parted lips.
