The moment Spike entered the room he felt something was wrong. The bot was up and running, and it turned to him.
"Oh, there's Spike! I'm fully functional again! You want me to run a program? One of your favorites?"
Spike closed his eyes. Please no. Haven't we been over this?
"Willow!", he growled.
"I know. But honestly I'm glad I got it running at all. It was pretty much a mess. I'll deal with the details later."
Great. Details. Like his gut clenching and his heart breaking and the blood lust building up way too quickly. He had to get out of there.
As it turned out - Willow never got around to dealing with the 'details'.
A/N: And here endeth the interlude. Back to canon with you, go watch "Bargaining". Thanks for reading this little thing!
