Buffy yanked her hand away from spike's wrist.
"When? How?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Two days ago, and I have no idea," he replied, opening the door.
"Where are you going?"
"You already asked me that, and out."
"Spike."
"I need some fresh air."
"Like hell you do, why are you acting like this?"
Spike looked down the hall as Wesley came into view.
"She's all yours," Spike said, stepping outside and closing the door before Buffy could say anything.
"Aren't you going after him?" Wesley asked, walking down the hall towards Buffy.
"No."
"Why not?"
"There's no point. He'll be back later anyway, right."
"Maybe," Wesley said, walking away.
"Aren't you happy? You get to keep me now," Buffy said, following him.
"I never had you, you were always his girl. You think I didn't notice how you never opened your eyes. In your mind it was always him."
"Damn you."
"Now now children," Angel said, stepping out into the hallway, "Don't fight."
"Why didn't you tell me Spike was here, and human?"
"He asked me not to."
"And you listened, last time I talked to you about him, you called him Dr. peroxide. Remember?"
"That was before he sacrificed himself to save the world, and before I had willow bring him back."
"Willow was in on this?"
"We all were, aside from Dawn," Xander said as they trio reached the kitchen, where everyone was busy eating breakfast.
"Don't think that doesn't bother me," Dawn said, finishing her cereal and standing up.
"Why?"
"Why did they do it, or why does it bother me?"
"Why did you do it?"
"Because you deserve to have someone who loves you, with all his heart and," Angel said, pausing for a moment, "soul."
"Why is it that your bring 'em back plans always seem to backfire?"
"Magick sucks," Xander said.
"I don't remember you complaining when I gave you back your eye," Willow snapped.
"I have to go find spike," Buffy said, turning and running down the hall.
"When? How?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Two days ago, and I have no idea," he replied, opening the door.
"Where are you going?"
"You already asked me that, and out."
