After visiting Buffy's apartment with Angel for the second time and seeing Andrew leave in the company of two gorgeous women, Spike walked along the cobblestone streets of Rome realizing that he wasn't even surprised nor really hurt that she had moved on. Time had passed and he'd become his own man again.

As he passed a little bistro, a familiar scent caught his attention. He looked into its windows and saw someone starting back at him with her mouth agape. Watching with amusement as she dropped her beverage and ran for the door, Spike stood perfectly still.

Willow had been musing over her very recent breakup with Kennedy when her senses told her to turn around. Seeing the ghost of Sunnydale past made her drop her espresso and run toward what had to be a ghost. Thinking it might be the First again, she assaulted it by attempting to run straight through the form; however, the solid body that bore the brunt of her blow proved otherwise.

Spike knew this couldn't be good; Willow wasn't stopping. Bracing himself for the hit, he took on her weight as her slight, but solid frame barreled into him. "Red," he grunted.

Disbelieving eyes met his blue ones; Willow sighed, "Spike? It's really you? When? How? Where? How?"

Chuckling with amusement and finding himself enjoying the feel of the red witch in his arms, Spike replied, "Yes and yes. A few months; still working that out; Angel's soddin' office; not sure."

Still slightly in shock, Willow grabbed Spike by the neck and planted a wet, passionate kiss on his lips. "I missed you."

Recovering from the surprise feel of her soft lips on his, Spike grabbed her by the arms and pulled her against his body and kissed her. She tasted of heartbreak, cinnamon, strawberries and cream, with power coating everything. She was intoxicating.

Both parted from the kiss panting and wanting more. "Where are you staying?" he asked.

"Come with me," Willow said, sliding her hand into his. Together they made for her hotel.
