What drives a man to talk to a woman, especially after weeks have passed? Weeks when he has, quite frankly, been avoiding her, this woman he loves.
The woman he is supposed to love.
Ask Angel. Ask Lorne. Ask Gunn. Ask Spike. Even Spike would have said it. "Love Fred." Especially now. Love her unquestioningly. Love her without restraint.
Because what sane man would allow a miraculous second chance like this to slip through his fingers?
Why would he do such a thing?
But he is not here to save this chance. This ... thing they have. He did not think that was why he left his room and walked down the hallway to her door, but it was only at his first knock that he knew for sure this was not about reconciliation. Whatever this would be, it would not be about True Love. Because True Love had never really been a part of their story.

And so he knocks.
