Okay, so I got here via BetterBuffyFics from Y!G to read your 14valentines fic, but this caught my eye instead - it's my birthday tomorrow, and hell if I don't miss Cordelia. /long-winded explanation

Bottom line: Wow!! Such great characterization, especially Cordelia and her snark, and Xander and his hesitancy... their banter... the butterflies... the adorable matching earrings.

Xander had come to share her birthday with her. She thought she might be able to share Doyle with him.

Heart-wrenching and optimistic. You have written a smooth, wonderful story here. Lovely.
