"Yes," Wesley said. "This shopping trip really does resemble past ones. Cordelia used to ask me that very same question. Although she was generally laughing when she did, so it tended to lose some of its impact." God, he missed her. He wasn't sure he'd realized until just then how much.

Spike moved a bit closer to Wesley, just enough that the backs of their fingers brushed for a moment. "I didn't realize you two were such good friends," he said thoughtfully.

"Trust me. If you're not friends, she tells you. With a crossbow." Spike wondered idly what had happened to the Irishman who had been working with Angel when Spike had tried to get the Gem of Amara from him.

There was a men's clothing store just ahead. "I was thinking about jeans," Wesley said. Then, because Cordelia really did deserve better, "It is too bad. I don't think Angel's given up on finding a solution." The truth of that statement just made him feel more guilty.
