Without the Gang
December 24th
"I miss you Wills, give Xander my love. I really wish you guys could come for Christmas." Buffy said into the phone.
Willow replied, "I know, me too. It really sucks our flight got snowed in. Give Dawn and Spike my love."
Buffy nodded, "I will. I'll talk to you soon, Wills. I love you, bye." Buffy hung up after Willow said bye, tears coming out of her eyes. This was their first Christmas without each other. She looked at the clock-it was Christmas again.
Spike hugged Buffy from behind, "You okay, Goldilocks? You look sad." Buffy nodded and leaned her head on Spike's chest.
"Yeah, this is our first Christmas without the gang. I miss them."
All Spike said was, "I know."
Buffy was simply comforted by the presence of Spike. As they both stared out the window, it began to snow.
