The charm was still working on the collar and it didn't look worse for any wear. He had not see the black leather in two years and it was good to hold it again. The memories came flooding back of when he bought it back in 1900. Over a hundred years old it was still beautiful. He heard Buffy moving outside the room. He knew she was being careful not to alert her, but he was a vampire. He shut the box and replaced it in the drawer and locked it. Then he went back to the door and unlocked it slowly so she would hear and make any arrangements before he entered.
"I have a new collar for you. Well it is not new, per say, but is valuable." He closed the door and locked it before turning around and showing the collar to Buffy. "Better than that temporary one."
