"I don't know what to say," Angel spoke, leaning against the front door. "'Thank you' hardly seems appropiate after what has happened."
"No need to say anything," I replied. "I'm just glad that you're your old self again. Besides, I should be the one to thank you."
"For what?"
"For seeing the vial in time."
He shrugged. "It was the least I could do, considering you had my demon."
I smiled sadly. "So, how does it feel to have a soul again?"
"It hurts," he answered.
"It was easier the other way," I remarked. "I didn't have to think, I just..."
"Did. I remember."
We looked at each other in silence, contemplating the events of the night.
"Do you want me to go?" he finally asked.
"I do," I answered honestly. "I need to talk this out. But not now.
He nodded, his eyes full of pain. "I understand." He turned to open the door.
"When I'm ready to talk," I started.
"You can come find me," he said. He glanced back at me and smiled sadly. "My door's open for you."
"I'll be taking you up on that offer," I called out as he walked out of the house.
"I hope so," he said as he closed the door.
"Well," I sighed as I surveyed the wreck of my living room. "Love is hell."
