Staring at the phone, Giles warred with himself whether he should ring her again. It had been six months and he’d never connected with her. He’d spoken with Dawn, Tara, and Willow, and of course, he’d kept in touch with Anya about the Magic Box - and that meant that he’d also spoken with Xander.

 

But never with Buffy. She wouldn’t take his calls.

 

Hell hath no fury…

 

Now the situation was dire: an apocalypse was imminent and he needed to warn her of the threat Willow posed to the world.

 

How could he do that when they were poles apart?

Oh my gosh! How wonderfully angsty and sad! This is a moment of Giles's life that I hadn't given much thought to before. Great work!

Poor Giles. I don't really agree with him leaving, for the reason he gave, but I know it must've been hard for him. And I understand why Buffy wouldn't take his calls, but I still find the whole thing very frustrating. I just want to yell at them to stop being stupid and work it out. lol. Thanks for sharing.
