Wesley sighed with relief as he realized that they were nearly home. He wanted to hole up in the flat with Spike and pretend for a few hours that nothing was wrong.

"It shouldn't be that difficult," Wesley said. "At least we're not drunk yet. Anyway, the box can stay in the car for now, as long as we remember the liquor."

Spike opened his door and said, "We'll get it all. We can stuff a couple bags in the box and carry them up that way."

Getting out of the car, Wesley shut his door and walked around to the back. He looked at the collection of bags with some amusement. "I take it back," he said. "Maybe we should make two trips."

"We can manage," Spike said, starting to sling bags over his arm. "Think of it as a challege."

"I'll get the alcohol," Wesley said, going around Spike to open the side door and retrieve the box.

"Can't forget that." Spike looked with some dismay at the number of bags still in the car, which seemed to have doubled on the way back, but grabbed a few more and slid his arm through their handles. "Am I supposed to carry the rest?" he asked.

Wesley laughed, tucking the box under his arm even though it was awkward to do so and closing the door so that he could return to the back of the car. "No," he said. "I'll take some."

"Wouldn't want to impose." Grinning, Spike stepped back so that Wesley could take the last couple of bags.

"If this is how we handle one load of purchases, I think we might need to pay someone to move us," Wesley said, picking up the rest of the bags and hoping none of them broke under the strain.
