Sprawled on his belly on a broad bed, chin resting on his folded hands, Vittorio watched her pace. “Bella,” he murmured. “Have you ever considered that she does not want a normal life?”
Buffy turned and blinked. “What kind of crazy talk is that?” she demanded. “I know I would have given anything to be just a normal girl when I was her age. I wanted to go to movies and do homework and study…”
“But you have not had a life like hers,” he observed.
That stopped the Slayer mid-pace and she turned to look at him. “What? With having to deal with the Slay-y stuff?”
Vittorio slowly shook his head. “No, bella,” he murmured. “It is far simpler than that; you have grown with being a Slayer. You have those who support you and aid you and have grown with you. She, as sister, saw only from the outside. She had none to support and guide her as you have. She has had experiences that you have not.”
