She climbs upstairs tiredly, dropping the smile they all wanted to see. Crawling into the unfamiliar bed, she sighs and lays on her side. Waiting to feel the familiar cool arms wrap around her waist.

His arms.

She twists in the bed to reach over and pull her love to her....

...only he's not there.

The only thing left to hold for comfort is a pillow. No more Spike. Ever.

Her compassionate, caring, loving warrior is gone. Not temporarily......forever.

And he's never going to wrap his arms around her ever again. Or his whisper in her ear that he loves her. Never again will she feel his kiss.....His love.....

Because he's really gone.

And now....she can cry.

For the man she lost.

And the man she loves.

She can cry.

A phone call.

A voice.

Some news.

A ticket.

A plane.

All to get her to her love. The one she thought she'd never see again. The one's who's touch she thought she'd never feel again. The one who's voice she thought she'd never hear again. The one who's love she thought she'd never see again.

All back.

And as she leaned into his now warm embrace and lays her head on his newly thumping heart she knows that she is home...

...for home is where the heart is.
