Willow blinked.

She didn't get the connection. Her expression softened.

"Like me?"

He resisted, not able to admit the truth.

"Yes, luv, just like you."

She nodded. "What else about her? What was she like?"

Spike paused.

"Well, she was wonderful, friendly, and sweet. Made me teeth ache after
a
bit, but in the good way, you know?" He smiled, looking thoughtful.
"She
cared so much about others that it sometimes blinded herself to her own
pain. She just gave and gave until it seemed like she could give no
more and
she just turned around and gave some more."

He looked at her carefully.

"You remind me of her."

"Is that why you always look sad around me?"

"Sad?" He was surprised at her perception.

"You always have this look, like you're somewhere else. When you look
at me,
it's like you're so into your thoughts. I don't know, it's hard to
explain...maybe..."

He cut her off. "Yes."

"Yes, what?" Confusion.

"Yes, I understand, I know what you're saying, pet."

Spike leaned in closer, his face near hers.

"Yes." He repeated once more, quietly.

Willow drew in a sharp breath. She stared in his blue eyes, they
pierced
through her own. An overwhelming feeling over took her.

Moments passed by. Willow shook it off.

"How long ago was it that you knew you loved her?"

Spike regarded the innocent redhead intently. He answered, his voice
full of
honesty.

"About a month."
