We had our meeting with Angel, Lilah and I. I'm still not sure what to think of that. Not sure what to think of Angel. Our friendship has shifted once again. It's going so fast that I just can't seem to keep up. All the memories inside my head collide and jumble and it's one big puzzle. I'm well aware that I'm not a hundred percent alright, as they ( Read more... )

Wes and Lilah stood in my office, Wes looking just as uncomfortable as I was, if not more, and Lilah looking casual, even if not perfectly at ease. Meanwhile, the tension in the air could possibly be cut with a knife. Assuming we wanted to test that theory, that is.

"How are you?""I'm... fine," I said slowly, answering ( Read more... )

As we drove back to Wolfram and Hart I couldn't help but think Wesley looked like Daniel about to re-enter the lion's den. I wasn't sure if he was ready. Hell, I was fairly sure he wasn't ready, but what could I do? My directive was to get Wesley as sane as possible as quickly as possible. Lindsey had told me to take my time helping Wesley recover ( Read more... )

Finally Wesley came in with me from the roof, the words before we'd fled the rain still ringing in my ears.

"Thank you for coming back Lilah. I can't promise you...anything."Since when had I ever asked him for more than he could offer? I'd known the score, even back then. No promises. Hell, we'd even made a bet over who'd be ( Read more... )

( Some thinking...some talking )

I slowly got to my feet, feeling more focused than I had before. That little adventure with Wes had helped me more than he'd ever know. You'd think that the Senior Partners would have given me some kind of instruction booklet on how to use these powers that they'd given me. At the moment it was trial and error ( Read more... )

( She just left me...again. )

What the hell? Eve had told me that Wes needed help, a nudge in the right direction, but she hadn't told me that he had gone quietly insane while I'd been gone. He'd kissed me and fool that I was I'd responded, long dormant feelings rising to the surface. But all along he'd been thinking of Fred. Lamenting over her demise.
