Tara watched Anya watching Xander.
Everyday she watched him. She watched him grieve, she watched him mourn, she watched the crying slowly fade as he learned to love again.
Tara had done the same with Willow for just as long after her death. But there comes a time when you have to let go.
Tara had, but she feared that Anya never would. "Do… do you still love him?" she asked.
"No," Anya replied. "Not like that. I just miss being loved."
"You don't have to," said Tara, reaching over to take her companion's hand.
Anya smiled like the sunrise.
