![]() ![]() Had Buffy told her mother about Oz? “That he’s a really good guitarist.” Any more than I can tell them that Oz is. “Well, it’s not something I’m really doing,” she said.

In the car, Joyce suggested a wonderful, terrible lie to cover up for Willow’s frequent absences: a friend of hers had run away from home, was living on the streets, and Willow was trying to urge her to go to the runaway shelter run by Connie DeMarco. ![]() Willow couldn’t help it, she burst into tears and let Joyce Summers rock her for a few comforting minutes. Summers murmured, “Oh, Willow,” and pulled her into her arms. ” And then the reality of what was happening hit her: she’d been out all night, she hadn’t recast her binding spells, and her parents had probably already called the police, despite Buffy’s mom covering for her. Oz wanted to leave his van at Angel’s, in case Angel needed it.” “I can’t believe it took that long to find a space.” She smiled faintly.

Then somehow he was gone, hurrying down toward a gate to catch the last plane to Boston. “You don’t ever have to apologize for who you are.” She touched his hair. ![]()
