"Cass, why are you you doing this...?" Xander asked quietly. "Do you think I forgot you? I havn't.... I couldn't forget you, Cass...."

“Oh, no,” Cass sneered. “But not for lack of trying. You told me you couldn’t live without me, Xander! I told you I’d wait ‘cause I thought you’d be right behind me! And, seriously, with Carrie? Way to twist the f**k**g knife.”

"I know you probably hate me..." Xander said slowly. "It seems like I betrayed you. Maybe I did. But I found out awhile ago.... I guess I'm a coward." he chuckled to himself. "Looks like I'm afraid to die...."

“Oh, it seems, does it?” Cass reached for the keyboard, went through it. “So, I suppose you just expect me to keep waiting while you continue with this charade, keep talking to myself, maybe curl up and go back to sleep for awhile.”

"I'm sorry, Cass...." Xander said, looking down "You wouldn't believe how long I cried after...... I don't want to do that to anyone else....."

"Got it!" Carrie pulled out the DVD, grinning. "You ready for a fright fest, Mads?"

“You’re sorry,” Cass shook her head. “Ask me how much I care about your tears, your f**k**g sorries. I’m sure you’re dying to know. You’re so full of shit. The truth, the honest to god truth, Xander, you wouldn’t trade this for me. Not in a million years.”
“Yeah,” Maddie bit her lip, leaning back on the pillows.

Carrie popped in the DVD, hopping onto the bed and scurrying into Maddie's pillow fortress. "You just let mommy know if this gets too scary for you, alright, honey?"

"Cass..." Xander finally rasped, naturally not hearing her. "Why'd you go, Cass? Why couldn't you live for me? Dying for someone.... why couldn't you have lived?"

“I won’t get scared.”
“You were gonna leave me,” Cass whimpered, determined not to cry. “You were gonna leave me for Carrie and I couldn’t…I couldn’t.”

"I wanted a life with you, Cass.... You. But you obviously..... I don't know. I don't know what went wrong" Xander said miserably. "I never knew what went wrong...."

“You didn’t ask. I should’ve told Jack to just f**k**g tell you, not make you ask. You never f**k**g asked him.” Cass, just as miserable, reached for him again, went through. “Let me talk, just go get Maddie. Xander, please.”

"I don't know what to do, Cass...." Xander said miserably, sitting down. "I just..... can't get my daughter mixed up in all this..." he picked up a picture of Maddie that sat on his desk, sighing slightly. "She's still so young...."

“I’m sorry, Xander.” Cass knelt in front of him. “But she won’t remember anything. I promise.”

“It’ll be okay,” Cass touched his face, standing back up. “I don’t care if you hate me.”

Xander shut his eyes and took a deep breath, coming to a decision. "Mads, could you come in here?"

Maddie scooted off the bed, abandoning the movie without a backwards glance.
“Huh?” Mad glanced around, looking worried. “Why’s Sally crying? What’s wrong?”

Xander picked her up, not sure if it was to comfort her or himself. "Cass-- Sally is someone who was-- is.... very important to me, Mads. But you're the only one who can hear her, hon."

“You wanna talk to her?” Maddie grinned. “So she won’t be sad anymore?”
