Chapter 32
Angel sat alone in his apartment. This place would probably be too small to invite many people over, which actually suited him just fine. Angel thought about the girl, did she still have the cross that he'd given her the night they met? Hopefully she did, but it wouldn't be enough. At least not by itself. She was just a kid, and the world was full of big bad things. Angel understood this better than most. And there was the child, he'd be almost a man by now. He wondered if those two even knew each other. Probably not, and yet Angel's mind kept coming back to them. Thought's of happiness, that despite everything Angel still deserved to feel love. But he tried not to go there. He had a mission. This could involve protecting them, but not getting too close. Whistler had been right about one thing, the more he lived in this world, the more he saw apart from it he truley was. Angel knew that if he truley loved anyone, he had to stay away. But did he have the willpower to do that forever?
