Empire Records, 12/22 [Open]

Kaylee showed up after Constant Vigilance, which had been insane. She made sure happy and upbeat holiday music was playing as she moped behind the counter. Though she wasn't her usual cheerful self, she was still willing to help any customer who might need it.

Empire was open.

Willow came in carrying a big grocery bag. "Is it true? Tell me it's not true. Not that the squirrels don't work very hard but sometimes their handwriting is less than stellar so it can be easy to get the notes wrong."

"Oh no!" Willow put her bag on the counter. "Okay, I've brought ice cream, tissues, chocolate, and I've got a totally legal copy of Iron Irises on my laptop."

"I've been there," Willow said. She took out a bag of M&Ms. "Guys leaving you? No fun at all."

"Back in Sunnydale," Willow said. "I had a boyfriend who walked - well, okay, drove off because he thought that would be better for us. I didn't get a vote."

"There's an understatement if I ever heard one," Willow said. "Here, would you like cake batter flavor or death by chocolate for your ice cream?"

Willow handed that pint over along with a plastic spoon. "So how are you doing? Still numb? Hit the stage where you're crying so hard you forget how to breathe?"

"Numb is good," Willow said. "We like numb. Less pain that way."

Willow smiled back. "I know what it's like to go through this and feel like nobody understands you or cares. If you ever want to talk - or want to not talk - about it I'm totally here for you."

"Want a hug or would that be pushing the tears issue?" Willow asked.

Willow went to give Kaylee a tight hug.

Willow gave one last squeeze then stepped back. "Call if you need anything?"

"Peter's home, actually," Willow said. She tried not to smile too much since she didn't want to come off like she was rubbing it in.

"That's good," Willow said. "You can be with your friends and your ship. That should help cheer you up."
