“Smells yummy,” Willow said, coming up behind Kennedy and putting her arms around her waist.

“There. Almost done. Go sit and I will bring them to the table,” Kennedy answered, moving away from her embrace after noticing the bruises on Willow’s wrists from where she had to restrain her the night before.

Willow moved slowly to the table, unsure of what to do next. “Kennedy,” she started.

“No.” Kennedy put up her hand. “I don’t want you to apologize again. I know you don’t really remember what happened. You don’t have any answers. Can we please just pretend it didn’t happen and go about our day as normal?”

“Sure,” Willow said with a sigh, idly playing with her pancake; It was perfectly round.

Kennedy, suddenly finding she had no appetite for her pancakes, rose from the table to put her plate in the sink. “I need to go train. Tonight is my first patrol in Central Park with the other New York Slayers. I need to make sure I’m in tip top shape for whatever the night might hold.” She gave Willow a small kiss on the top of head before she left the kitchen.

“Yeah, for whatever the night might hold,” Willow echoed, getting up from the table and starting to clean up from breakfast.
