“Buffy wait!” Buffy heard Spike yell as she stepped into the elevator and saw him running out of his apartment. She stepped forward and pressed the close door button. Just as the door was about to shut completely Spike’s hand grabbed one of them and pushed it open and walked onto the elevator.
“Just let me go. Just this once let me go.” Buffy pleaded.
“Can’t, I’m comin’ with you.” Spike said as he pushed the lobby floor button.
“Your mother won’t be very pleased.”
“Yeah well I’m not very pleased with her right this moment.”
“I don’t blame her for what she said, she was just in shock.”
“Who do you blame then?” Spike asked.
“Myself.” Buffy whispered.
“Why’s that?”
“Because I married a man I don’t really know.”
“I’m sure he had a reason for keepin’ it from you.”
“I’m sure he did too, but after I found out about you he should have told me it all.”
“So, where we going?” Spike asked as the elevator doors opened to the lobby.
“I was going to go by Wills’ and see if I could crash there for the night.” Buffy said as they stepped out of the elevator and headed towards the building’s main entrance.
“I’ll drive you.” Spike said pulling his car keys out of his front pocket.
“You don’t have to.”
“I know, but I’m doin’ it anyway.”
“Thanks.”
“Don’t mention it.”

“Drusilla will you go to your room while Rupert and I talk?” Anne asked.
“Sure.” Drusilla said and headed down the hallway to her room.
“Thank you.” Anne called after her before turning to face Giles.
“Your little revelation most likely just cost me my marriage.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Finding out about William the way she did was enough shock for her so soon into our marriage.”
“She’s not the only one shocked here Rupert.” Anne stated.
“She was right, I should have informed you about all this before you and Drusilla got here.”
“It would have been nice. Why didn’t you tell her about me?” Anne asked.
“I didn’t know how. She was already a little weary about the fact that I’m the father of another woman’s child, I didn’t know how to tell her on top of that we had been married.” Giles explained.
“You should have told me before I got here. I never would have made such a scene or said the things I said to her it I’d known.”
“I know; I don’t blame you.”
“You should go fine her.”
“She won’t want to see me just yet, if ever.”
“Can you answer me something?”
“Depends.”
“Does William often act like that when it comes to her?”
“For some reason yes. It goes both ways actually.”
“How so?”
“Buffy’s father showed up one day and said a few things, William didn’t appreciate what was being said so he punched her father. Buffy was at William’s side right away, afterwards Buffy helped him with his hand.”
“Was William alright?” Anne asked not liking the idea of her son getting into a fight of any kind.
“Yes of course, he just needed some ice.”
“Oh.” Anne sighed in relief.
“Did you mean what you said about Buffy and William?”
“That I thought they made a cute couple?” Anne asked making sure that was what he was asking.
“Yes that.”
“Yes. Why?”
“I saw a connection between them the first time I saw them together.”
“Oh?”
“And Buffy’s father commented on it as well.”
“William cares for her, that much I got from seeing the way he looks at her when he thinks no one is watching him.”
“I’ve noticed the same thing with Buffy.” Giles said.
“What are you thinking Rupert?” Anne asked.
“That maybe Buffy met the wrong Giles’ man first.” He stated.

“Where to now?” Spike asked as he pulled out of Anya and Xander’s parking lot. They had been to all of Buffy’s friends homes but either they weren’t home or they had plans already.
“I guess I could stay at the gallery.”
“Buffy that place doesn’t have anything in it yet.”
“So?”
“Why don’t you rent a room at ‘The Sunnydale Inn’?”
“No money.” Buffy stated. “I left my purse at your place when I left.”
“I’ll pay.” Spike said not liking the idea of her staying in that building for the night.
“No you won’t.”
“Yes I will. I won’t let you stay in that huge empty building all night.”
“It’s not empty.”
“Right, it’s got plenty of cobwebs to make a person feel right at home.”
“Hey!” Buffy yelled.
“You know I’m right.”
Buffy crossed her arms over her chest. “Fine, but I’m paying you back.”
“If you say so.” Spike said heading to the hotel.
“I do.” Buffy said looked out the car window.
