lovely. thanks. totally agree that its great that you have angel shansuing when buffy is a bit older , and we get to see them older, all grown up, stuff sorted out and happy. and still sounding like themselves.

also like the whole idea of expanding on those few minutes in the actual episode to show why angel decides not to hide from buffys mother.

you could really feel the long termness of their love, and the knowing each other that comes with all that. nice to believe in that.
