"Hello," I hear his voice through the reciever.

"Do you want to tell me why I'm having vivid dreams about us spending the day together? When you were human? And then you turning time back?" I demand harshly.

"Buffy," he starts.

"How dare you!" I roar into the phone, "I get it. You don't want me anymore but did you have to wait so long to turn it back. You let me feel like you love me again."

"Buffy," he tests, "I love you more than anything in the world and you know that. This is what's best for everyone. Never accuse me of not wanting you. You mean everything to me."

"We could have been together, Angel," I whisper, brokenly.

"It never would have worked," he says, "No matter what happens though, you'll always be my girl." I can hear the hurt and truth in his voice.

"In another life, right?" I ask, laughing bitterly.

"That's how it has to be," Angel says, "I've got to go. I'm so sorry, Buffy."

"I know," I whisper, "Bye, Angel." I wipe a lone tear off my face.
