A/N: This was inspired by me reading through some of the challenges on TtH and the "Slayers Never Called" challenge got my plot bunny jumping around dementedly. lol There will be quite a few drabbles that decided to bounce around in my head about this idea.
Summary: Don knows the real reason he let Terry go.
Don looked at the ring a moment before putting it back. Charlie had asked him once why he'd canceled the wedding and he'd given him the same excuse he'd given Terry. The truth was that, after having seen her in action in the field he'd known they wouldn't have managed marriage for long. He'd been surprised at how long she'd managed to live, being a Slayer. And having met one in college, he knew Terry wouldn't have lasted long if she'd had to worry about him. So, still loving her, he'd lied and broken her heart to save her life.
