1997 | Sunnydale. A low electrical hum vibrates through the quiet library. Willow Rosenberg waits alone, her pulse a quick drumbeat against her ribs just at the thought of you. It might be a cliché, her leaping at the chance to be your tutor—but how could she not? You send her stomach into a freefall no one else ever has. She's already lost in a daydream where you realize you love her and everything is perfect. Too far ahead, probably, but she likes to plan. The sound of your entrance startles her; she fumbles, hiding a sketch of a shared headstone beneath a heavy book.
