The question does sound innocent enough and that gets Dawn to settle back into the cushions of the couch again, some of the defensiveness seeping out of her. She lifts her shoulders in a shrug. Having sex with Nick had been a mistake. It was Kenny she had had feelings for. Dawn just royally and purposefully messed that up. And then Xander who she had once loved and no longer loved in that way. That one had been messed up, not by her, but by the universe.

How was the sex?

"Nick was a mistake. I try not to think about it." She says. "But Xander was good. I liked it. Now it makes me ew cause I love him like a friend, but... it was good when we were together."
