The Moment After

For
now_ish on 9-12-2004
The giddiness I had felt at the sudden solution to our problem was quickly fading...and ok so it wasn't so much slow as several days of pacing cumilating into a women's roundtable of power. I was just thinking the stars I couldn't see anymore that we were more productive than my mother's old quilting circle.
Wesley amd Buffy seemed happy enough...and there was even some openly declarative shows of affection...a move I fully supported...
But,
And I really hated that word. Cordy and Buffy were fighting, and I wasn't sure what to do. I knew that Cordelia wasn't as happy I was about Wesley and Buffy...so it was confusing. I wanted to support both them...and her. And just when I was about to settle for a big hug, hoping it would make Cordelia feel better, the fight escalated even more...and she left with Groo. I know a talk when I see it, especially when they deal with old ghosts, so I let them be. Cordy would find me if she needed me.
When she needed me...
And then she was getting that hug.
The kitchen was nearly empty now, leaving me alone. Mugs decorated each and every corner, so with a sigh I began to collect them and place them in the sink.
Sometimes there are hugs...and sometimes there are dishes.
