Yeah, she was alone. She was spending her time at Riley's party sulking in the corner. She wasn't doing much of anything.

But she'd caught someone's eye.

Unbeknownst to Willow, Graham Miller watched as she tried to sink into the background and just watch. The red hair, the sparkling yet sad eyes...Riley may have had the hots for the little blonde, but her friend was much more interesting in his opinion.

He was so busy trying not to stare at her that he didn't see her move.

"Excuse me," she said quietly. "You Riley's friend?"

"Yeah?"

"Could you tell him he better not screw things up with Buffy?"

"Sure. Who am I delivering this message for?"

"Willow." She turned to leave and Graham gently laid his hand on her shoulder.

"Why not stay?"

"Parties aren't my thing, really."

"You know, I know a great coffee place here on campus. Can I get you a cup?"

It looked as though she was about to decline, about to leave, when she caught a glimpse of Buffy laughing and enjoying herself. "I guess. Why not?"

Graham smiled, his first true smile of the night. "Let me get a coat."

"Okay."
