Prologue
The Dream of Truth
Today was the day that Angel was going toconfess his love for Cordy. The only problem isthat he just couldn't get the words out of his mouth. And it is not like he could practice in front of a mirror because of the whole vampire issue. While Angel was practicing his lines Cordy walked in.
She knew how hard it was for him now that Connor had been kidnapped by one of his dearest friends. Wesley had betrayed Angel with reasons beyond Angel's understanding. He had spent most of his time just starring into nothing or the empty crib that once held his loving son.
Cordelia wondered what he was talking about to himself. He explained that he had something to tell her. She, at first, seemed very worried. Then, he told her that he thought it was good news. He began talking when they heard a crash and then Fred screamed.
Angel and Cordy came running when a demon hits Cordy across the room with one simple swing of its hand. Angel and Gunn battled the demon till its death. Angel ran to Cordy. He carried her to his apartment where he laid with her till she woke. When she did they talked, but Angel never said what he wanted.
Later on, when Angel was sleeping he dreamed he was telling Cordy how much he loved her. As he was dreaming he was talking aloud, and it turned out that Cordy was there the whole time and heard what Angel was saying. He woke up from smelling Cordelia. They just looked at each other for a long time.
