D dawdled for as long as she could after (http://chloe-sullivan.livejournal.com/12070.html?thread=152870#t152870) saying good-bye to Chloe which totally isn't done yet before facing up to the worst good-bye yet.

So, she found herself standing outside Xander's door, frakking huge gift-bag (http://pics.livejournal.com/dbiers/pic/0001ba1k) in hand. No, those totally weren't tissues hidden in her back pocket. Really. They're... ummmm, ok, tissues.

She hesitated for a moment or two, then she took a deep breath and knocked on the door frame.
