Th-thanks. Really. Um...it was...so strange, a-at first, but wonderful. I-I guess I'm also dead in Buffy's and Dawn's world, too, so it's...a little unnerving.

But. [Tara bit her lip.] Beautiful a-and good.

[Tara is something of an empath, gifted with a powerful sense of intuition. Even if she didn't have that ability, it wasn't too difficult to tell that Cordelia didn't sound quite so convincing. There was something missing in her voice, something almost like longing.]

D-do you have...are you...h-how are things with you? Apart from the glitch. I-I mean...do you have happy i-in your life?
