“Hi...why don’t you come s-sit down?” Willow asked, her voice quavering slightly. Oz took in the scene warily as he sat next to her, unsure what had happened to their casual video date. His breath caught as he recognized the music, the song a familiar and beloved one from the 70’s that he hadn’t heard in years. He knew what was going on; the scene had obviously been set for seduction. He knew he should stop this, but found he couldn’t. It felt surprisingly right. Willow looked so ravishing in the candlelight, her eyes shining, the violins and melodic tones of Barry were wafting over them...it couldn’t be more perfect. “We’re alone, and we’re together. I just wanted it to be special,” Willow murmured, eyes downcast as he leaned towards her, stroking the silky embers of her hair gently before drawing her face towards his.
“It is,” he whispered, capturing her mouth in a searing kiss that spoke of all the lost time, all the time spent incomplete without his love. They fell back onto the sofa as the music modulated ritardando:
So tell me
When will our eyes meet?
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearning end?
And when will I hold you...
Again?

The End :) The lyrics are Barry. Manilow, that is. “Weekend in New England” to be precise. Title comes from that too.
