TARA: Do you think I'm stupid? I know you used that spell on me.

WILLOW: Tara, I'm sorry, I-

TARA: Don't! Just ... don't. There's nothing you can say.

WILLOW: Tara, I didn't mean to-

TARA: To what? Violate my mind like that? How could you, Willow? How could you after what Glory did to me?

WILLOW: Violate you? I ... I-I didn't ... mean anything like that, I-I, I just wanted us not to fight any more. I love you.

TARA: If you don't wanna fight, you don't fight. You don't use magic to make a fight disappear.

WILLOW: But I-I just wanted to make things better. Better for us.

TARA: But you don't get to decide what is better for us, Will. We're in a relationship, we are supposed to decide together.

WILLOW: Okay. I'm ... I realize I, I did it wrong.

TARA: You did it the way you're doing everything. When things get rough, you ... you don't even consider the options. You just ... you just do a spell. It's not good for you, Willow. And it's not what magic is for.

WILLOW: But I ... I just wanna help people.

TARA: Maybe that's how it started, but ... you're helping yourself now, fixing things to your liking. Including me.

WILLOW: Tara, no!

TARA: (tearfully) I don't think this is gonna work.

WILLOW: Hey. It is, i-it's working. Tara, please. I need you, baby. I need you. I don't need magic, I-I don't, I ... let me prove it to you, okay? I, I will go a month without doing any magic. I won't do a single spell. I swear.

TARA: Go a week. One week without magic.

WILLOW: (excited) Fine. Fine, that's easy!

TARA: (nods, not convinced) Go a week, and then we'll see. I don't know, I just ... think we both need some ... I don't know, space. Oh, I can't believe I'm saying this.

WILLOW: Are you saying you're gonna leave me?
