There was a lovely, soothing rhythm of give and take in this vivid, emotionally honest piece. Perfect Faith and Xander voices helped it come alive. I enjoyed this hesitant, vulnerable Faith wanting to open up. Xander's take on getting the eye back felt right and in character, and their coming together happened organically.

I love how you planted the idea here: "Dusty sneakers on her feet, tiny shorts on her legs and a white tank undershirt that wasn't hers but that she knew was stuck to her body in all the best places. She watched as he looked away sharply because if there was a way to ogle discretely Xander Harris sure hadn’t figured it out." Faith noticing Xander noticing her, nice. Then the intimacy of sharing secrets and suddenly Faith's touching Xander's face.

I really enjoyed this nice piece of writing. Thanks for sharing it.
