Willow worries.

She’s never been with another woman, never wanted it, never suspected it might be possible. She was infatuated with Xander, though, and genuinely loved Oz … what if Tara decides she isn’t serious about this? not “really” gay?

Not good enough?

***

Tara worries.

She isn’t attracted to women. Or to men, either, she’s never felt about anybody else the way she feels about Willow. What if Willow realizes this about her? that her orientation isn’t girl/girl OR girl/boy, but something narrow, limited … weird. Strictly Tara/Willow.

***

The whole thing is impossible. Can’t happen.

Doomed from the start.
