Part 7-
Finally, after being all cried out, Tara lifted her head from Spike's shoulder. Wrapping her tears away she kept her head bent over steering down at the floor. Spike had gotten up and leaned against his desk, waiting for her to regain her composure. Minutes later, the light-brown haired young lady spoke, again.
"I am sorry, Spike....."
"Don't worry about it, mate. I am here for you anytime. Just call on me, for anything. Besides, all of this is kind of new after being dead for a year and a half. I understand if it takes awhile for you to get readjusted and come to terms on somethings. But, you have a second chances at life, not many people can claim that. Oh and that advice I gave you earlier, still stands. Don't waste your whole life waiting for Red to come back. Live and love again. Like I said there's someone at this firm that's more then willing and able to help you out in that department. And, if Willow does come back; I think she should have to earn you back. She after all did just move on within 6 months. I understand loneliness and wanting to have someone to love, who loves you, and wanting to forget. Boy do I ever. However, you have the right to be happy, too. Capre' Diem, my friend, Seize the day! By the way, it's William from now on, no more Spike. That was when I was the big bad, but now that I've gotten a soul and all. No more Spike, okay? Thank you! " the newly changed vamp rambled on until she looked up at him and gave him a half, hopeful smile.
"Well, William it sure is nice talking to you, as always. I look forward to working closely with you, mate. However, I need to get to work. Apparently, I've got a day full of client meetings, files to review, and some cases to present before some judges downtown. All before sunset and then we'll be having that intimate *Get to know you* dinner that Angel had Harmony send a memo about. It's a full day. And no rest for the wicked." Tara just ran off her busy first day's schedule, as she slowly was escorted to the door. There they gave each other a friendly (knowing) hug and then they went to work.
