Buffy cleared her throat and carried the cordless phone into the next room. "Hey, Gunn called and said you were missing. I was worried." Buffy was surprised that she had said this to her ex lover. Normally she would be more careful about being so tender towards him. "Yeah, it's a long story," was Angel's only reply. The conversation sat still for a bit until Buffy broke the silence. "So, what is it? I mean, you normally don't make social phone calls." Angel snapped himself out of his thoughts and replied, "The long story, I feel like I need to tell it to you." "Well, I'm a little busy, you can call during the day tomorrow," Buffy said, remembering she was still playing hostess to Owen. "Well, I was thinking I could tell it to you face to face. It's not the sort of story you can get all of over the phone." Angle wanting to visit her, now that was something new, Buffy thought to herself. "When were you planning this visit?" she inquired. "Saturday night." He said almost immediately. "Well that's tomorrow." Her voice sounded more shocked than she thought it would. "Is that a problem for you?" Buffy told him it wasn't and they said goodnight. Still in a bit of a daze, the slayer told Owen she had to get to bed and he showed himself the door. She slept soundly without dreams, and in the morning suddenly remembered the visit that was about to come. She went on a cleaning frenzy, and almost forgot to tell Dawn about what was going to happen. When the little bit came down with bags under her eyes, Buffy explained hurriedly what was to happen and went on cleaning. She wasn't sure why she was so stressed about Angel's visit, but she felt the need to show off. Finally, cooling down, Buffy sat by her sister and brought up the subject of patrolling. Dawn was estatic to go, and they spent the rest of the daylight trainging in the back room of the Magic Box. Anya, despite her demon-ness, continued the store. Giles was off in England with Willow, and Xander was taking his first real vaction. This was only possible because of his large paycheck which he was very proud of. Before the sisters knew it, the sun was setting, and they headed home to meet Angel. Their pleasnt walk was interrupted by a quick slay, and they were very slightly late. They found Angel on the couch waiting. He spoke first.
