Please follow the format below:
- If it's a private journal ring: [ voice + date ] (i.e. [Voice - April 11])
- A private journal note: [ written + date ] -- of course, if it's just a note saying "lets meet here", it can progress to action quickly enough.
- A knock/planned meeting/continued thread/etc and so forth: [ action + date ]

Except it wasn't just a job, for Xander, when it came to construction. He built himself right out of his parent's apartment and into a new life - even if it wasn't with her.
Which still stung, in it's own way. Not a painful one, but the sadness of knowing that they never would have the time to piece together what it was that they were.

She's not sure what brought that thought to mind - other than the strange coincidences in the similarities of their arrivals and experiences. Anya no longer had a place at home, but Buffy would always have one.

"Hey, now. I'm the one who's supposed to be giving the sage advice. Winged veteran, here."

Well, I've known a few others in your predicament. Still know them, in point of fact. And they make it seem as though peace is possible."

It hasn't been nearly enough time for Anya, yet. She had gone through a few stages, true - even evicting Twila was part of that. Something she had to do for herself.
Maybe she should actually take another sip of that tea. She brings the cup back to her lips.
