Xander shrugged. "Why not? Seemed like a damned good idea at the time."

“You still have your bike?” Cass asked very quietly, suddenly feeling as if she didn’t know him at all anymore, leaving her shaky and out of breath.

"Nope." Xander grinned at her. "New bike."

Cass burst into tears, stuttering apologies as pressed against him, hiding her face against his chest.

"Cass?" Xander asked, worried, hugging her gently.

“I’m sorry.” Cass whimpered more apologies for the tears, pulling away to cover her face with her hands, crying harder.

"Cass, what's wrong?" Xander frowned at her

Cass dropped her hands to look at him sadly, tears still sliding down her cheeks. “I’m alone.”

"Cass, you're.... I'm still me, Cass. You're not alone."

“But everything’s changed.” Cass mouthed more than spoke before huddling in against him again, trying to breathe evenly.

"You're still you. I'm still me. What else matters?"

“That we’re ourselves together.” Cass gave a tiny smile, the expression lost against Xander’s shirt. But, she’d stopped crying, and that was a start.

Xander chuckled and kissed the top of her head. "I love you so much, Cass....maybe more than I did before."

“Why?” Cass sniffled, peeking up at him.
Frank knocked at the door, waltzing in without waiting for an invitation.
“I come bearing gifts.” He announced, making a bee line for the side table with a glass of water and a bottle of pills. “Oh, for f**k’s sake!” He swore as he turned around, finally seeing Xander next to Cass on the bed.
“Get the hell out of my bed!”

"Oh, chill out." Xander said indignantly. "When did you turn back into a goddamn middle schooler? We're just lying down together!"

“Oh, about the same time you started f**king the werewolf again.” Frank replied in a snide tone.
“Frank,” Cass tried to put a warning tone in her voice. “What’re the pills for?”
“You.” When Cass gave him a ‘no shit’ look, he elaborated. “Sleeping pills, ‘cause I know you’re not tired, and I thought it’d be nice if you were up when everyone else was. Maybe even wake up early enough for breakfast.”
“Plus, I figured Jennifer would like to take me up on that drink offer.”

"Why don't you f**k off, Frank?" Xander said in a low voice. "Give us some privacy?"

“Because Cass needs to sleep and you’re f**k**g married.” Frank growled indignantly.

"Last I checked, Cass and I were both old enough that you don't need to babysit us." Xander growled

“Last time I checked, Cass just woke up and she doesn’t need you hovering around, trying to get in her metaphorical pants!” Frank took a step closer to the bed, ready to pull Xander off if need be.
