Perhaps I waited for the right moment because I didn’t really have that much experience with women. Especially beautiful, sexy, smart women like Cordelia Chase. After all, my experience with women was really limited to Darla, Dru and Buffy. Before I was the love and leave them type of guy. And now I was usually just saving women from themselves or some demon. So my experience was limited and I had no idea of how to tell Cordy, after our return from Pylea, what she meant to me. She had become so much more to me than my Seer and my friend, I loved her. But before I could say anything, Groo had to show up and ruin everything. 

To make matters worse, she started dressing him up like me and everyone started acting like Groo is the champion and not I. Sometimes I feel like they should just call it Groo Investigations, since he can replace me so easily. Maybe I wouldn’t be so bitter if Cordelia would only look at me like she looks at Groo. But what can I do? I can’t tell her now how I feel about her; she’s with someone else. And she’s happy. And anyhow maybe this is for the best, after all, it would never work out between Cordy and I. After all, I am a champion whose soul is cursed, and she’s a princess cursed with visions. And if I ever have one moment of true happiness, well then I would lose my soul and terrorize her, even possibly turn her. And I just can’t take the risk of having Cordy running around as an evil vampire. Or least that’s what I keep telling myself every time I see them together. It helps me to not tear Groo apart, and it helps me to not say to her that I love her and need her more than life itself.
