"Buffy. Hi.
"I got your letter, and I decided to write you a reply, but I'm not sure how to post something to heaven, so I thought I would tell you what it said instead.
"'My Buffy.
I miss you so much, that I am glad that I don't need to breathe – I would be very dead by now. I'm watching out for Dawn, just like you asked – if the gang ask me where I go every Friday, I never answer. They just assume that I'm out doing my 'dark avenger' bit – in their dreams. I check on her every week, and I am sorry I can't do more, but I couldn't imagine you wanting me to quit. Not now.
I have nothing to say to you – usually it was always you who did most of the talking (Yes I was listening by the way!) and now I don't know what to tell you.
It means so much to me that you understand now why I left, because I just can't seem to remember the reasons at all. Ever.
I wish every day that you were back here with me, but I'm holding onto the hope that one day, I will have redeemed myself enough to be with you again. I have a feeling that you'll be stuck in those clouds for a good while yet, though. Don't wait up for me, okay? Have a nice time with your mum, your cousin and everyone else up there with you.
Time is all relative I think, so I will see you soon
Your Angel.'
"I still have nothing left to say, just that I love you and I will always love you."
He left a rose on her memorial stone at his hotel and went inside. Each night, there would be a new rose, and each night he would tell her something new. None of his 'friends' had any idea.
