Buffy made it as far as the backyard, before she collapsed on the back porch sobbing. Which is where her Mom found her a few hours later.
"Buffy? What's wrong?" Joyce said as she sat down next to her & pulled her into her arms.
"Oh, Mom," Buffy sobbed, "He left me, mommy. And I didn't even get to tell him."
"Who, baby? Riley?"
"No," a heartbroken Buffy whispered, "Spike. He's gone & I didn't get to tell that I-I-I-I"
"Well, you know Spike. He always comes back."
"Noo, mommy, not this time. I was at the bronze & I got jealous over this girl 'cos she was dancing with Spike. And it wasn't even Spike & then he walked in & gave me a rose & a poem. And then when I went after him all that was left was his duster. Oh, Mom, I didn't get to tell that I-I-I-I"
"Ssh, its ok, I'm sure he knew."
After all the tears had dried up, Buffy stood up, pulled on Spike's duster and said, "I'm going to go for a drive."
As the sky began to gradually lighten and the citizens of Sunnydale began another day of delusion, a petite blonde, who looked liked she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, sat waiting for the sunrise.
A few hours later as Buffy walked into her bedroom, she noticed a package on her bed.
