Alexander Lavelle Harris is speechless. He couldn't talk right now if he wanted to. And not just because he'll get caught. All thought is gone except for the brain cells screaming, "OH MY GOD!"
They don't see him, screened in on the back porch as they are and him hidden in the trees and bushes in the dark. If he doesn't talk, doesn't gasp, doesn't move, doesn't breathe, he just may get out of here alive. But death never looked so appealing before.
He thought Cordy was being faithful. And Buffy had said that Spike was in a wheelchair. And what about Drusilla? Isn't she supposed to be the love of Spike's life? Death? Whatever.

A man who touches a woman like that knows what he's doing. He'd never even thought of touching Cordy like that. Spike's hands seem so large as they slide across her flesh. Big, strong, experienced.

Wait? Why am I not looking at Cordelia? Why am I not feeling envious of Spike?
He takes one last, longing glance before quietly walking away, thinking of a poem they read in class last week, 'If I could only die that way, I'd say goodbye to the business of living.'
