Summer of Giles

Rupert Giles had many presumptions about the way his life would go; ideas on the things that would absolutely or would absolutely never occur. If he thought about it, he had always been this way, even when he was a young boy. He could still recall being ten years old. There had been two ways he could see his life going at that time, and both had been equally appealing for very different reasons. He would be a fighter pilot or he would be grocer. Then his parents had come to him, had taken both those paths from him, informing him in no uncertain terms that he would be a Watcher.
