Chapter 4 Friendly Visit

Willow had a cheery smile on her face as her friend opened the door to her apartment, ignoring Dawn, who was impatiently tapping her foot behind her.

"Hey Buffy! How Are- Oh!" Her smile quickly upturned when she saw Buffy's appearance. "What happened?"

Buffy gave a weak smiled. "Oh, nothing much Will." She turned and walked back to the sofa and sat down, staring off into space.

Willow frowned and turned to Dawn. "Dawnie, sweetie, could you-"

Dawn rolled her eyes and nodded. "Yeah, yeah I know. Go find something convenient to do while you talk to Buffy in private. I'll get some Ice cream." Willow smiled.

"Thanks Dawn."

Dawn turned to go. "No prob." She turned back around, "Buffy will be okay, won't she?" She wondered worriedly.

Willow frowned," I don't know. She's been kinda detached since Sunnydale was destroyed. She barely attempted conversation over the phone. But I'll find out. Don't worry." She reassured her.

Dawn nodded and walked down the hall to the elevator. Willow watched her go. When Dawn was out of sight she took a deep breath and entered the apartment.
