"You've been hit with a lot." Spike hoped that Wesley wouldn't take offense to the sympathy that was surely written across his face, but he did feel deeply for how much Wesley had been through in recent days... and years.

"You've got a funny definition of the word 'fine' if it includes crying that hard and not knowing why," Spike commented, more resigned than anything to Wesley's inability to understand his emotions. "I'm allowed to worry about you for a bit afterwards."

"Not knowing when to give up has its good points," Spike said, taking advantage of Wesley's seeming willingness to be hugged to slip his other arm around him.
