"I think about it." Xander said warmly, not really wanting to decide on the spot.

“Okay.” Cass sighed and then added in a conversational tone, “You know, it’s killing me that you haven’t kissed me yet.”

Xander frowned slightly, looking away from her.

“What?” Cass kept her tone neutral but somehow wasn’t at all surprised by his reaction.

"Even if I made my choice, Cass.... it's hard." Xander sighed. "I'm married, have been for years now. That doesn't just go away in a blink, even if you want it to."

“You kissed her when we were dating.” Cass said it softly because she didn’t mean it to be vindictive.

"On the cheek." Xander sighed. "Once. It was a brotherly gesture."

“That’s bullshit.” Cass laughed, honestly amused. “That’s not the time I was talking about. No, it was that time when I took something and I passed out. You kissed her in the living room. Tell me you don’t remember that.”

"I don't." Xander said flatly. "And neither do you if you were passed out."

“Well, I wasn’t really passed out. I just didn’t feel like moving…” Cass gave a nervous laugh. “And you have to remember, I was high and I remember.”
“You were calling an ambulance and Carrie stopped you.”

Xander's eyes widened in sudden recognition. "She kissed me, not the other way around!" and suddenly it seemed like he was 19 again, defending himself about this the first time around.

“Maybe.” Cass fought a grin. “But you weren’t exactly fighting her off.”

"She surprised me..." Xander mumbled

“Yeah, okay.” Cass laughed, her tone suggesting she didn’t believe a word of it. “I was there, I saw what happened.”
“And all I’m saying is fair’s fair and I want a f**k**g kiss.”

“O-kay.” Cass took a step away from him, frowning as she looked him over. “Are you always like this?”

"Like what?" Xander frowned slightly at her

Cass opened her mouth to say ‘serious’ but paused, that wasn’t the right word. “Sad.” She finally decided, and then shook her head. “Well, not sad, not exactly. Unhappy maybe, I don’t know.”
"What’s wrong with you?"

"Just a lot happening all at once..." Xander said with a sigh, shaking his head.

“It doesn’t have to.” Cass said slowly. “I didn’t need a decision today. I’m glad you want to be there for Gabe and if that’s your only reason for choosing us, that’s great. That makes my decision a lot easier. But I’ve changed too, Xander.”
“I was never sober around you. I mean, I used to pop valiums every morning like they were vitamins and,” She paused to purse her lips, looking away. “And I never knew what you saw in me. I guess I’m just afraid that whatever it was isn’t there anymore.”
