"Why do you do that?" Xander's voice was almost too quite to be heard

“Do what?” Cass asked softly, chewing on her lip.

"You stand there shaking like I'm going to hurt you!" Xander spun around, looking at her

Cass cringed, instinctively taking a step back. Realizing that wasn’t helping matters she shuffled forward.
“If you hit a dog it’s gonna flinch the next time anyone raises their hand.”

“I never said you hit me.” Cass winced, backing away.

“No. Jack never hurt me.” Cass backed into a wall. “It was before I met you but that’s not the point. The point is the fear’s there and it’s not going anywhere.” She looked like she might burst into tears at the slightest provocation, bottom lip quivering.
“Xander, stop it, you’re scaring me.” She whined softly.

"Cassie." Xander's habd shot out, grabbing her wrist lightly. "Let's go somewhere. It can't be too late to get dinner somewhere."

“Don’t!” Cass whimpered, arms popping up to shield her face. She glanced up at him and, realizing he wasn’t going to hit her, nodded slightly.

"Cass..." Xander held his hand out towards her face slowly, wanting to touch her but not wanting to scare her.

“Yeah…?” Cass bit at her lip, watching his hand and resisting the urge to move away from it.

Xander touched her cheek gently. "You don't need to be scared anymore, Cass....."

“It’s not that easy.” Cass relaxed some, leaning into his touch.

“ ‘Kay.” Cass smiled back, moving closer and holding her arms out for a hug.

Xander hugged her gantly, having to lean over to avoid the baby belly. "So, shall we scare up some food?"

“Mhm,” Cass mumbled against his chest, holding onto him.

"Well then, you'll have to let go of me." Xander chuckled

Cass pulled away, pouting slightly.
“Where you wanna eat?”
