Here Goes Nothing
"It took me a long time to realise just how much I loved you. I suppose it was magic that started it all, and it seemed most of what we felt then was simple lust, but now it's real, real love, so real it hurts. I know you've had bad experiences with men before, but trust me when I tell you I am different.
I'm sure you're already far too aware of the differences between us and I know I'm older than you and not half good enough or worthy of you, but I do love you. I have a questionable past, a misspent youth, and a less than great track-record with women, I admit it but I'd treat you like a princess and do all I could to make you happy until the end of time...who am I kidding? She's gonna laugh in my face...and I look like a nancy. Still it's now or never, with things the way they are there's no way of knowing if we'll see tomorrow, it has to be now. This house on Revello Drive has never looked so daunting, but it's not the building that strikes fear in me, it's thoughts of the beautiful blonde inside who will probably laugh her head off when she hears what I've come to say, what I've been practising every spare minute for the last week, and constantly for the past two hours...well, here we go...How long does it take to answer a door? Oh..."
"Good afternoon, Rupert, did you come to see Buffy because I'm afraid she's out?"
"Actually, there's something I quite need to say to you, Joyce...Here goes nothing..."
~~The End~~
