Disclaimer: All for fun, not profit!
"Let's go home." Giles hardly heard Willow's whisper. He didn't register the door as she and Tara left his flat. Giles sat motionless, internally arguing.
Willow's suggestion was reckless. Risky, incredulous, dangerous. He told her so.
But not impossible.
With the first whispers of dusk, Giles started. She would be hunting now - no, she should be hunting now. Giles stood abruptly and removed an ancient manuscript from a false panel in the bookshelf. His hands shook holding the Papyrus of Ani: The Egyptian Book of the Dead.
He could do it. No, he should…
Giles struck a match and wept.
