"Hi, sweetheart." She can't help but smile when Junior's little arms wrap around her neck hold on tight. Wrapping her hands around her daughter's sides, she tickles until the hold on her neck loosens and then raises her up into the air until she giggles and swings her back down, holding her less than a foot off the ground.
(It's definitely time to get a haircut.)
Little Beth would get a kick out of riding with her hotshot pilot of a surrogate father, no question in her mind about it.
The two of them are practically cheek-to-cheek when she turns to Spike, watching him smoke by the open window with no small amount of appreciation in her eyes.
He's probably even leaner than he was when they first met at the bar, but there's still nothing she'd like more than to tug him toward her by the goddamn skinny tie he hasn't worn regularly since he got stuck out here with her and spend a couple of good hours cataloging every minute physical difference she can notice about him.
It'd be practically therapeutic.
But until she gets the chance, she... kind of loves him more than ever, and she knows it.
"Is it as good as you'd imagined?"
She can almost live vicariously just by watching him.

Almost.
