"You… I…. but… and…" Angel said, not sure how to act.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I just needed to clear the air."
"Sorry? What for? Why should you apologize?"
"can you ever forgive me?"
"Look," she said, "you silly boy. I told you I'd follow you wherever you went." She ran her hand through his hair, stopping on his cheek and turning his head to her. "It's not because I have to."
"I can't get you involved in this. They, whoever they are, killed my father, and I think there after me too. If they get you, I don't know what I'd do with myself."
"I promise. I won't get in your way. Let me come with you."
