Unable to face anyone else she called her cousin in Neptune after making sure the others were all right.
"Hello."
Trying to stop the flower of tears she managed to speak without sounding quite as rattled as she was.
"Uncle Keith it's me Buffy."
"How are you? It's been such a long time."
"I'm all right. Is Veronica there?"
Sure I'll get her. Are you going to visit us any time soon?"
"If you wouldn't mind I was thinking about coming for a visit."
"I know Veronica would love it. It would do her a world of good to see you after Lilly's death?"
Buffy had known Lilly but not as well as Vernoica and hadn't seen her since her death. She bought a bus ticket to Neptuned. She need to be away from Sunnydale and the horros of having killed Angel even though she had no other choice.
