It didn't matter how much she begged, Giles would eventually leave again. Buffy knew that without needing to be told. She just wasn't enough to keep him by her side.
But she never expected that he'd ask her to go with him.
"You mean that?"
"With all my heart." His voice shook with emotion and she knew he wasn't lying.
"If I come with you, you'll never be able to get rid of me," she warned, blinking back tears.
"Promise?"
It was hard to say who reached for who first, but neither one had any intention of ever letting go.
