Angel silently made his way down the stairs, and looked through the glass into the office, where he saw Cordelia.
She was curled up in the easy chair, wrapped in Doyle's well-worn, brown leather jacket - the only thing that had survived the Beacon.
Angel sighed when he realised what she was doing.
She was watching the video.
Again.
The Doyle video, of which he knew she had both the original and a copy of at home, a copy in the office, and a copy in Angel's room - OK, that was his, but she had had it copied for him.
As soon as he realised what she was watching he knew that she would be crying, and so stood by the door in the lobby to wait for Wesley - being careful to stay away from any sunlight that had pierced through the curtains.
As soon as the door opened, and Wesley appeared, Angel grabbed him, silenced him with a look, moved him out of the sunlight, and stuffed some money into his hand.
Then, while propelling him back towards the door, he whispered, "Go to the bakery down the block and pick up Cordy's cake. It's ordered under Angel Investigations."
Wesley looked over in the office and saw Cordelia watching a video and mouthed, "Doyle?"
Angel just nodded in reply.
At that, Wesley slipped out - making sure to be careful that he did not open the door too much, so that Angel would not go on fire.
