Buffy entered her two bedroom apartment a half an hour later.

"Um… Buffy…" Angel started.

"Come in and close the door behind you." She said quietly without even looking at him. She just walked into the living room and flopped down on the couch.

Angel said nothing, just came inside and closed the door. He turned on the light in the living room and stared at her for a few minutes. "Are you okay?" He finally asked.

She just gave him 'are-you-on-drugs?' look.

"Dumb question. Listen Buffy everything will be okay. You'll be okay." He said putting his arm around her and bringing her closer to his body.

"How… how will I be okay Angel? The people I love brought me back because they needed me alive, to be with them and now they're all gone. Everyone, Spike, Willow, Giles, Xander and now Dawn. Heck I even miss Anya. I'm all alone." She whispered dropping her head in her hands.

Angel lifted her head back up so she could look at him. "You still have me. You'll always have me." He said looking into her big red puffy eyes.

She looked at him and for a moment, just one moment forgot how much her life sucked.

"Thank you." She said as she pushed back tears.

"once everything is done here you can come live with me and Connor in LA. I have a perfect room for you." He said with a smile.

"No… oh no Angel, I can't ask you to change your life for me."

"Buffy, I'd change the world for you." He said with a smile. "Besides now that Cordelia moved in with Groo and Fred is with Gunn, the hotel could REALLY use a women's feel to it." He said with a small chuckle. When Buffy didn't look like she'd give in, he continued. " Besides if you don't move to LA, I'll just have to get Connor and move back in to Sunnydale. Either way I'm not leaving you alone."
"Fine… but how will Connor feel? I mean the relationship you have with him is like the one you and Dawn have. Not of the good."

"Well he'll just have to deal.

"I don't want to start…"

"Buffy you have your choice, make it."

After a minute of thought Buffy looked into Angel's eyes. "Can I shop?" She said with a smile.

Angel just laughed. "Whatever you want baby." He said kissing her forehead.

"Wait… I can't. I forgot all about the Magic Shop." When Angel just looked at her strangely she continued. "Giles owned it. He left me his half of the store, because Anya and he were co-owners. When Anya died I got her share too and now I'm full owner. I can't just leave it. It's been just a big part of my life for years now." She told him sadly.

"I have a crazy idea then, how about you live in LA and just commute everyday?" He asked her.

"That'd be a great idea if I had a license."

Angel just glared at her. "You don't know how to drive?"

Buffy felt like she was six inches tall under his gaze. "I never learned. When I finally convinced my mom to let me take the test on my seventh birthday… well everything went bad and I didn't have time. Then senior year when my mom and the rest of the parents became teens, I crashed my moms car and she wouldn't let me touch it again. Then college came and I never got the chance."

"Fine… I'll teach you and then you can go to motor vehicles and get one."

"Angel… I know you only mean well but… well you're not the most patient person in the world and well… I suck. I'd probably cause you to have a stroke."

"Buffy I can't have a stroke, my heart doesn't beat."

"With me anything is possible."

They began to laugh a little.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Buffy got up and headed to answer the door.

"Hi is Dawn home?" A cheery girl asked.
