so. i know it's an awkward time. don't feel bad telling me no. i just wanted to invite you to a big dinner party i'm throwing on the 22nd for thanksgiving — if you want to come i'd love to have you! i invited jinx too. so i really hope you both come! but no pressure
( some pressure. slight, fractional pressure. buffy knows it's asking a lot and probably too much, and that she shouldn't be bothered if either of them reject the offer, but.
you know. thanksgiving is for who you're thankful for. and she's thankful for them. )
Coming back — it leaves him out of sorts, the daze made even worse by Jinx's absence. (Her death, ringing in his ears. Wasn't he supposed to protect her from that? Should he have known, when the book said—) It's too kind a message, likely more than most would believe he deserves. Would her other guests welcome him? What kind of company will he make, when Jinx still isn't whole? When he isn't, without her? ]
You're very kind.
[ The simplest answer. An honest one. He wonders if he ought to say anything for the dual aspect of the invitation — then decides against it. ]
I'll make an attempt to stop in. Take care, Buffy.
