Giles sits in the airport terminal, reading a book, with a small bag on the floor beside him. He stops reading, looks off into space.
WILLOW: (offscreen) You really think we'd let you get away with that?
The gang, plus Dawn, walks up to him.
GILES: (smiles) I was trying to avoid a scene, really.
WILLOW: Like we'd make a scene.
GILES: (quietly) Not you. Me.

~~Bargaining, part 1~~
