For Love
Behind the counter, Susan smiled at Willow as she walked in. She knew Willow well from her frequent visits. She also knew that Willow knew her way around the shop quite well, so she left her alone.
Straight to the book section marked "Underworld, Undead, Afterlife, etc." Willow grabbed several books and glanced through them, making a little mental note of things she would need. Willow was in one-track-mind mode, her entire being focused on this series of tasks, that were very clear in her mind.
Get Books.
Get ingredients.
Learn spells.
Do spells.
Save Tara.
Nothing had ever made more sense.
Crossing swiftly to the ingredient section of the little shop, Willow placed candles, some linseed root, wild oak sap, in her bag. Basic stuff. For the more... interesting ingredients, she would go to Giles.
Willow didn't smile at Susan as she checked out. She saw nothing that was happening around her as she walked stoically to the library, her mind still revolving around that one phrase. Save Tara, it repeated, like a mantra in her mind. Save Tara.
