He was the first boy she ever truly thought of forever with, wondered if maybe he was the one. (He's still the only one she's thought of like that.) He was funny and clever and hot and so so nice - he treated her like the princess she was, because he wanted to. Because he was just that guy.
She loved him. She thinks she still loves him. Maybe she'll always love him. She's grown up now, no longer the princess of Sunnydale High, no longer Queen C. She's no longer a hanger-on of the Slayer. She saves people in her own right, with Angel and Wesley and Gunn(she still misses Doyle, like she misses Xander. She'll always miss them both. They made her the woman she is).
She should call Xander. See how he is. (She still cries sometimes, remembering how it felt, to see him and Willow. But they were kids. She shouldn't have been so hard on him.)
When the current crisis is over, she'll call Xander. She misses his voice, his lips, how he laughed, how he held her.
Yes, she'll call him, first chance she gets.
