He lurked by the door until Dawn poked her head out. "You can come in. My mom's not home."
After he entered, she stayed in the room, staring at him, until he stifled a laugh and said, "What?"
"Are you gonna do the face?"
"Oh, not this again…"
"Come on, please?"
"Nope."
"Just once?"
"You'll scream."
"I will not!"
There was a five second silent test of wills. She won.
He winced as Dawn dashed upstairs with the delighted high-pitched shriek unique to girls her age. "Vampire! There's a vampire in here!"
Buffy's voice floated downstairs. "Be right there, Angel!"
