______________
After the cake, Tara felt a little older. It was strange how one tradition could make you feel like you've grown a whole year. Especially since she was already telling people she was 22. She worried about Buffy, being older and seeing so much. She could imagine what kind of hells she had to be through. Or maybe she had a normal life. Tara made a note to talk to Buffy at some point, catch up on what happened after the Hellmouth collapsed.
Tara was feeling feisty and asked Willow to go for a walk with her. Look out everyone, a walk. Part of her just enjoyed Willow's company and the other part wanted Willow to see that she loved Tara, maybe even a little bit.
They left Buffy's house and went into the streets, staying on the sidewalks. The streetlights were blinking on and Tara felt that it was a magical night. The Sumerian ritual they spoke of would be perfect for tonight. It might have to wait, but something special was bound to happen. She could feel it.
Tara turned to Willow. "Do you plan on continuing college now that you're here?"
