[He smiles and presses his mouth against her hair.] No. I didn't get back in time, and burst into flame. I'm actually a ghost. [He's just waiting for her to pinch him, or hit him. But it was kind of a silly question.]
You were sound asleep. I didn't want to wake you. [He knew she needed as much rest as possible. She usually couldn't sleep when she was upset, so she must have really been exhausted.]
[If he wanted to see how easy words could give even a Slayer a heart attack, well, he might just get his chance now. Because her heart did stop at that horrific attempt at a joke. Pulling her head from under his chin, balled up fists punched down, not having any momentum behind the swing, she pushed him back.] Not funny!! [She burst into tears.]
Good going mister stealthy. [Wiping at her tears, she semi-glared at him, taking in a deep breath of relief.] You could have at least taken my hand out of the ice cream tub and peeled some of the chips from off my face. [A small smile, but her tone serious.] I think I have can cheese in my hair.

[Pulls her against him and kisses her forehead before tucking her head under his chin, just feeling her pressed against him. Safe.]
I'm sorry. I love you too.

[Arms clings tightly around him, face to his chest, taking in his scent and sighing heavily.]
I didn't hear you come in. Did you come in before dawn?
