The claim still works. Knew they were absolutely bound to one another. And Angel, he's seems a little bit less good this time without Buffy. Thats both fun and interesting... as if anyone who favors this site needs more proof that Buffy and Angel didn't belong together. Still amazed it hasn't occured to him that Buffy's mark is from Spike! And the call to Joyce... he is so coming home to her. But I'll wait until he's ready. Lovely chapter.
