Opening his front door, Giles saw first a sprig of mistletoe suspended over a bottle of wine, and then the warm eyes of Jenny Calendar.

“Jenny,” he spluttered, conscious his voice was about an octave too high. She smiled playfully back.

“How do you feel about some wassailing, Rupert?”

“Um. Generally I feel good about it, but um…” He broke off as she stepped inside and wrapped her arms over his shoulders

He repeated the cold facts as an innocent man in shock should but his mind was already engaged on his next course of action. Jenny's people were all about vengeance? Well Rupert Giles intended to make them proud.
