"Night boss."
"Yeah see ya man."
"Later Cordy, See you tomorrow Doyle."
"Congratulations by the way. Are you going to tell anyone?" Doyle asked.
"By anyone I'm guessing you mean some old friends"
"Well not exactly *some* old friends I'm thinking maybe just one old friend. Perhaps of the blond variety."
"Doyle, I haven't seen Buffy in nearly sixteen years do you think that I'm just going to roll up to Sunnydale going Hey Buffy, guess what I'm human, let's get back together. "
"Angel it wouldn't be like that. The last time you two spoke you left on pretty good terms. My guess is if you went to her it wouldn't take more than ten minutes for you two to get back together. She still loves you. You still love her. Did you know she still wears her Claddagh ring on a chain around her neck? I saw it last year when I went on Buffy patrol for you. Look, go to Sunnyhell and see for yourself."
"Cordelia, she has Riley. I'm not going."
Cordy shrugged, "Whatever, look if you won't go to Sunnydale, at least go to bed. You're human now, so you need sleep and I fully expect you to work on a tan at the beach tomorrow with me, Doyle and the kid's ok."
"Yes mum." He turned to the stairs but Doyle caught his smile.
"Come on Cor. I know three kids that are waiting for mum and dad."
"Yeah, and Mc Donald's" she mumbled.
"Bye", Angel called as he went up stairs.

He stood in front of the mirror that Cordy had given him. Buffy had always liked his hair, he couldn't tell why. He sighed and went to lie down. His thoughts were full of her. He had no idea how he was going to tell her. Maybe she wouldn't want to know. After all she had Riley. Oh well he would think about stepping off that cliff tomorrow. He fell asleep. That night he dreamt.
