Buffy stilled, once more feeling the familiar sensation that only happened when Angel was near. It made her almost smile then tore her heart in pieces all over again. Of course it wasn't really him, it wouldn't be...Angel had left and made it clear he was done with the small town of Sunnydale and that they were over.

She pushed the thoughts aside and berated herself silent for even giving any pause to the thought.

Angel was gone, he no longer lurked in her shadows.
