After finding the right time for the private meeting between Buffy and Josef, they were arranged to see each other in private and cozy lounge downtown. Josef had already waited impatiently for Buffy's coming that night. He really couldn't bear seeing her girlfriend that finally went into the room hesitantly and quietly. Glorya made sure that their meeting was safe from the media press.
Buffy looked pretty and stunning as usual in her bright night gown. But, her eyes were not as bright as usual. She was clearly tired and stressed. When Buffy sat down next to him, Josef tried to greet her in order to break the silence between them. It was so clear Buffy still felt little awkward and uncomfortable in front of him after their last meeting that was badly ended with quarrel some time ago. Thus, this was the first time they could see each other again couple weeks ago.
"How have you been?" said Josef with a smile on his face. Buffy starred back at Josef who still smiled at her without answering his question before. "Are you alright? You look pale and weary now. I think you are thinner than before. Am I right? Do you eat well, Buffy? I was so worried about you, My Darl," Josef kept asking questions that made Buffy felt more anxious this time.
Seeing Buffy's unpredictable reaction, Josef slowly started touching her right hand on the table that was already full of special dinner to comfort her girlfriend. "It' OK, My Darling. I'm here with you. I know you have been through hard time recently. That's why I really want to see you now. You know what, I miss you so bad, Buffy!" Josef finally confessed his true feeling all this time.
