Mmmmh wonder what news Rupert has to tell.
Oh... and he was about to tell. But with Joyce there having news too - I wonder if the news are related.
Or not... Angel's father? Ah well, that isn't so good.

Wow, you completely had me fooled with this chapter! But I much prefer the idea of Joyce with Angel's dad than with William's - otherwise, it probably would have become too much of a soap opera. ;) This way, more conflict! Looking forward to more, and loving these frequent updates!

Fucking awesome story. idk what other reviewers are talking about. fuck them - they don't know what real writing is. love the author.

well, at least it's not giles, but this so doesn't make any sense to me. i'm trying to get into this story, but it keeps confusing me more and more. joyce is technically still married, but she's engaged to someone else? yeah, it doesn't work like that, you can't be married to two people. she must not know about buffy's past with angel, or she wouldn't have been so giddy about the whole thing. i don't see this ending well. as for william, if his mother left them, then i don't see why he's so upset about his father dating, he has a right to.

Author's Response: Ok, I am going to clarify some stuff in hopes that you will keep reading. Alright, so Joyce and Hank Summers do not live together. Minus the legalities, they are basically divorced. You CAN get engaged to someone even when you are still married. Joyce will have to deal with Hank at some point, but they aren't part of each others' lives. I haven't talked about whether or not Buffy told Joyce about Angel, but chances are high that she didn't cause Joyce is barely around. As for William and Giles, it is extremely painful when a single parent begins dating someone else. Giles may have the right to date and William did overreact, but there are things you still don't know about their past. I hope that helps.
