(Tara opens her dorm room door. Willow is standing there.)

WILLOW: I just want you to know that what you saw this morning, it wasn't-

TARA: No, it's okay. I-I always knew that if he came back-

WILLOW: We were just talking. Nothing happened.

TARA: (hopeful smile) Oh. (Pause) Really?

WILLOW: But, you know, it was intense. Just talking. We have a lot to talk about. (Frowns) I kinda feel like my head's gonna explode.

TARA: Whatever, you know, happens ... I'll still be here. I'll still be your friend.

WILLOW: Of course we'll be friends! That's not even a question.

TARA: (upset) But I'm saying, I know what Oz means to you.

WILLOW: How can you, when I'm not even sure? I mean, I know what he meant to me. But he left, and... everything changed. I changed, and... then we--

TARA: What?

WILLOW: (teary) I don't know. I just - life was starting to get so good again, and -- You're a big part of that. (Crying) And here comes the thing I wanted most of all, and... I don't know what to do, I ... I wanna know, but I don't.

TARA: Do what makes you ... h-h-happy.

(Willow hugs her. Tara strokes Willow's hair.)
