Disclaimer: Not mine; no money.
AN:  Written for dawn_all_along.  This fic explores what “Passion” might have been like if Dawn had been there.  I’ve chosen not to repeat scenes from the episode itself but instead focused on what occurred ‘off camera.’  Humongous thanks to my beta, firefly_124, for all of her help and a speedy turn around on this!

Summary:  Outside, Angel surreptitiously stalked Buffy, determined to weaken her via attacks on friends and family.  Inside the Summers’ home, Buffy tried to keep things ‘normal’ – bratty kid sister and all.
