The door opened quickly. "You look like shit!"

Willow grimaced. "I know. I can't seem to stop crying."

She was pulled into a small apartment. "Well, you can quit crying now. I want to know what's going on."

"OK...but give me a minute. I've been driving around for hours, thinking." Suddenly she smiled, "Thank you for letting me stay here. I couldn't think of anywhere else. Spike would find me too easily at Buffy's. I need some time to think over what has happened these last few months."

"It's no problem. I've told you before you are welcome here. I'm actually thrilled that you thought of me. How long is your spring break?"

"Two weeks. I don't have classes Fridays, so I got out a day early. Are you sure you can put up with me for that long?"

There is a laugh. "I think I should be asking that question. We are going to have so much fun, you forget all about your problems." Sobering, "What do you want me to say if they call here? Does anyone know you are here?"

"No, not even Buffy. I just told her some things happened and I needed a little vacation. Don't worry. They won't call you. If they do...well....lie?"

She felt herself engulfed in a tight embrace. "Sorry, you looked like you needed a hug. Now, sit down and tell me what those mean vampire did to our Willow?"

Willow smiled through her tears and began the story of the last few days.
