She's back!!

I came downstairs to make breakfast, and get started on research again, and I found her, I mean, I found Willow. She found her way home to me. Miss Kitty Fantastico was crouched next to her, licking her, and I shooed Miss Kitty away as best I could, and helped Willow up, wrapped her in a blanket, and got her to bed

"Baby, I'm fine. You don't need to keep watch, I'm not exactly gonna go anywhere."

[shy_witch]

"Nuh-uh," I said, easing down onto the bed to lightly tousle her hair with one hand, "Like I'm letting you out of my sight again. Ever."

Miss Kitty Fantastico jumped onto the bed, burrowing against Willow's chest, mewing plaintively. "See? Miss Kitty agrees."

I smile and pet Miss Kitty for a minute, goddess I didn't realize how much I missed this 'til now. Being home, with Tara... I think maybe while I was gone my brain shut my heart off so I wouldn't think how much I needed her. Needed to be in her arms. To know that it was okay whatever happened. We'd deal with it. We always dealt with whatever came along, and now? Now I can't even bear to tell her what happened, why I came home alone. I'm not strong. I'm not an amazon.

"Well," I pause, watching Miss Kitty scamper off, "can't say I'm gonna argue with that." I smirk a little and sit up, settling my head on Tara's chest all snug-like and wrapping my free arm around her waist. It feels like-- it feels like home. I can already feel myself begin to drift off to sleep again. "I'm glad you're here," I look up, my eyes connecting with hers, "I didn't know what happened, whether you were--I don't know." Not gonna cry. Not gonna cry. "We got so lost."

"But you found me again," I say, blinking back the tears that threatened to cloud my vision. "You promised me once, when Glory made me lost, that you'd always find me. I had f-faith..."

I couldn't stop myself from kissing her, hungry and desperate, needing the soft warmth of her lips on mine.

I walk by and see the door to Will and Tara's room open and the two of them sittin' on the bed; I haven't seen Red to talk to her since she got back. I poke my head in. "Knock, knock?"

[freckled_witch]

"Hey," I smile a little, pulling away from Tara a bit. So Faith wasn't the familiar face I was expecting --apparently Xander went off to do a Mr. Miyagi with Spike in L.A.-- but a familiar face nonetheless. "What's up?" I shift into a sitting position on the bed, blinking a coupla times to get my vision. Another few minutes with Tara all snug-like I was bound to be asleep quick fast, and it looked like Faith had something on her mind.
