Summary: Angel writes a letter to Buffy and to see what it's about you better read the letter.

Author's note: Let's pretend Buffy was in Angel's dream when he lost his soul for the 3rd time and not Cordy. Buffy's letter reply will be in the next chapter.

Dear Buffy,

I expect that Willow told you about how Conner was born and a few other things too. But What I'm going to tell you I haven't shared with anyone, not even Cordelia. When I learned that Conner had slept with Cordelia the only reason I was mad was because I wasn't mad at all. I thought I was supposed to love Cordelia. So I didn't talk to her. I was so sure that I was in love with Cordelia. But when she cheated on me I wasn't upset. Not the least bit. Well, maybe a little. Since Cordelia was so much of a mother to Conner when he was a baby only a year ago, and now she's sleeping with. That did get me a little upset. I won't say that I wasn't attracted to her because at one point I think I was. But I always knew that she could never give me true happiness so that's the only reason I was with her. You're the only one who's capable of doing that (giving me complete happiness). And I was lonely. Lonely, because I wasn't with you, but now I know I can and I wan to be with you. I just found out that all of my good deeds had been enough and I was made human. I haven't shared this with anyone, and before I do I'd like to know if we could go on a date sometime. If you accept I'd be willing to move with you to Sunnydale and leave LA. I have no purpose in LA anymore and the rest of the AI team could stay I'm sure they could mage without me. I'm very sorry to say this but I didn't feel comfortable seeing you. I guess I would feel embarrassed to tell you all this about what has happened the past year. Please forgive me that and for being with Cordelia too. And take me back.

Always, Angel
