It was amazing the sort of things you could manage to hold inside when you were confronted with your past. Xander Harris. Boyfriend, former. Alot of time had passed since we'd last seen eachother but sometimes I looked at that reassuring smile and it felt like old times. It would never be like old times again though.

Blinking back a few tears I tried hard to smile reassuringly as I looked up into his bruised face
