Chapter 2

Tara and Dawn were walking down Revello Drive, Dawn holding a large shake. "You should come inside. No one's gonna be home. Dawn told Tara.

"I don't know Dawnie." Tara replied.

"But," Dawn paused searching for reasons, "you wouldn't want to leave me alone would you?"

"OK, OK. I'll come in but as soon as Buffy gets home I'm gone. Ok?"

"Sure." Dawn paused "We could cook diner if you like?" Dawn pleaded.

"Fine. Tara replied a little reluctantly.

Willow was slowly walking along Revello towards home when she saw on the other side of the road Tara step inside Buffy's house with Dawn.

Willow walked over to the house and put her hand up to knock. She pulled it back again without knocking, turned and walked back the way she had come.
