“So…what happens next?” Cordelia asks.
Angel shrugs. “I don’t know.”
Cordelia gets up from the desk and goes over to the couch, sinking into it and making herself comfortable. She pats the empty space next to her and Angel joins her.
“Did you mean what you said earlier?”
“About people like us never having a chance to…you know.”
Angel sighs. “I don’t know. Maybe.”
“But what if they do? What if we do?”
“I mean, maybe this - me being here - is our second chance.”
Angel looks to her, his face soft. “Do you know I’ve spent every night since you’ve been gone wishing you would wake up? Everything that’s happened…I needed you more than I ever have.”
“Now that you’re here…I…I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you again.”
“I’m not going anywhere,” she whispers. “No matter what happens, I’m going to be by your side. Wild horses couldn’t stop me.”
He turns his body towards her and his eyes find hers immediately. Slowly, he leans forward and although he has no breath, Angel feels like he cannot breathe. She’s so beautiful, so beautiful… He reaches up and sweeps a chocolate curl from her face and gently brushes his lips against hers.
“I missed you so much, Cordy,” he whispers against her mouth.
