Part 1

She saw it in his eyes that he was back and she closed the portal with Angel's blood. She held him then cried harder than anything in the world. Angel was wondering, what happened? Why is she crying? Why does she feel so weak and yet stronger than ever? Buffy was smiling and they left. Buffy went to her house to get a few things and Angel went back to his basement waiting for her.
