Willow looked at him shaking her head. Tears stained her cheeks. "It doesn't feel right…doing this without her."

A hand comforted her. "She'd want you to."

Willow tried to nod, wiping the tears away. Maybe he was right. There was no time to sit and wallow. They had a job to do, even if the Slayer was gone.
