'Trust' Drabble for open_on_sunday

Happy Birthday.

She wanted to be angry; to rail furiously at the injustice of yet another cruelty life had felt the need to visit upon her. She would even settle for hurt. Hurt she could deal with; she’d had practice. Instead she was… numb. She looked into the eyes of her watcher; a man she had trusted implicitly, who was more a father to her than her own flesh and blood, and she felt… nothing.

Turning her gaze away from the regret-filled pleading eyes she fixed hers firmly on the ground as he dabbed gently at the wound on her forehead.

Nice drabble - poor Giles...

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

I'm not really seeing the poor Giles here though, lol. What he did was pretty unforgivable... and yet Buffy still found it in her to forgive him. Don't get me wrong, I adore Giles... just sometimes I would have loved to give him a good shaking! lol.

Yeah I agree with the shaking him sometimes*lol* but poor Giles I feel he just tried to hard to do the right things at times. I wouldn't trade places with him, as Buffy was such self absorbed pain in the butt.
