Author's notes: My very first B/G fic not beta'd all mistakes are mine.

I'm staring out at the Roman sunset waiting for my love to come home. We have been together for a year, and I still can't get enough of him. It seems kind of weird that after all this time we finally got where we are. It seems like only yesterday since the destruction of Sunnydale. Everyone was so unsure about what they wanted to do, so we decided to go to England to help rebuild the Council of Watchers. Once that was done we all went our separate ways. Willow and Kennedy are in Brazil having the time of their lives; Xander is traveling the world helping find new slayers and trying to forget his grief. Losing Anya really did a number on him, I can sympathize with that. Faith and Robin are in Cleveland with a handful of slayers protecting the Hell mouth there. We keep in contact at least once a month. We repaired our relationship and we have an understanding.

As for Dawn and myself we settled in Rome. She is attending an American school here and is the top of her class. I always knew she was smart, but had to deal with a lot of things back in Sunnydale. Giles is in England taking care of some Council business, and then he will be home. Our relationship was a slow one in the making. There was a lot of trust to be rebuilt, open wounds to be mended, crying, yelling, and some pretty great sex. He was my white knight,who lifted me out of despair. He helped me get over dating the Immortal, honestly what the hell was I thinking!? I should have learned my lesson from dating two vampires. I was lonely for so long I was practically desperate, I didn't want to see what was in front of me. Now I am glad I did, because he makes things more bearable. I gave Angel that ridiculous "Cookie dough Speech" and I realized that cookie dough is okay. I mean how many people actually wait for the cookies to bake? I must be caught up in my daydreaming because I didn't here the door open. Giles puts his arms around me and I know I am whole. With him in my life I am lonely no more.
