Chapter 3: Revelations and Reassurances
Buffy reluctantly climbed out of the car and took Dawn out of the car seat. She knocked on Angel's front door.
"What the hell?! Buffy?! What are you doing here?" Angel said as soon as he opened the door.
"Look, Angel. I'm sorry about the fight, I'm sorry for coming here, I'm sorry, ok?!" Buffy started crying while both Dawn and Spike looked at her.
"Buffy..." Angel pulled her into a hug and inside the house.
"Angel, on the day of Mom's funeral..." she broke off, remembering the painful memory. "On the day of Mom's funeral, I had wanted to tell you something I realized soon after we broke up."
"What? How much you hated me? How happy you were that our relationship was over? What did you realize that was so bloody important?"Angel was standing and almost yelling at Buffy while she was looking at the floor.
"No, none of those," she said, looking up at him, with unshed tears in her eyes. "I realized how..." she broke off and tried again in a whisper. "I realized how much I loved you."
Angel was shocked. He thought, *Finally, she told me what I had wanted to hear long ago.* Buffy looked up with the tears she had tried so hard to hide silently falling from her eyes.
"Please say something, Angel." "God, Buffy," he said with a smile. "Do you know how long I had wanted to tell you the same thing?"
Buffy pulled him towards herself and kissed him. Dawn giggled and Buffy and Angel broke apart, laughing at Dawn's outburst. He picked her up and tickled her nose. They spent the next hour laughing and watching t.v. until Dawn fell asleep.
