WILLOW: Hey.

TARA: Did you get through to London?

WILLOW: Yeah. He's gonna head back as soon as he can. I'm not sure, like maybe a couple days.

TARA: How did he take it?

WILLOW:Um ... I'm not sure. I mean ... glad, but ... kinda weirded out, which I get, you know? Lots of "dear lords". And I think I actually heard him cleaning his glasses.

TARA: Are you worried?

WILLOW: Worried? Tara, it worked fine. (not convincingly) It's all good.

TARA: Hey, Will, this is me. It doesn't all have to be "good" and "fine." This is the room where you don't have to be brave. I still love you. If you're worried you can be worried.

WILLOW: Well ... I'm not ... unworried. I mean, what, what happened, that was intense. That's ... gotta change you. When Angel came back ... Buffy said ... he was wild. Like an animal.

TARA: Buffy's not like that.

WILLOW: Yeah.

TARA: But?

WILLOW: (points at her head) It's just kinda ... noisy up here tonight, you know?

TARA: Yeah. (snuggles her) Is this better?

WILLOW: Yeah. I think it makes things quieter in here.

TARA: You know what I think? I think we all just assumed crash positions.

WILLOW: Huh?

TARA: It's, it's, it's like ... we were all tensed up, like ... we were expecting it to screw up. We weren't prepared for it to ... actually go right.

WILLOW: Yeah. (beat) Tara?

TARA: Yeah?

WILLOW: If things did go right ... wouldn't you think she'd be ... happier? Like, wouldn't you think she would be so happy that we brought her out?

TARA: Sure she is. You thought she'd say thanks. Be more grateful.

WILLOW: Would I be a terrible person if I said yes?

TARA: Give her time. She'll get there.

WILLOW: Right. No need to be in a big furry hurry.

TARA: Exactly. I'm sure it's okay.
