If Angel had known that the only way through to the library was by the Sun Room, he might've paid a little more attention to where his nurse was herding him. As it was, he didn't realize that there would be sunlight spilling throughout the entire place until his nurse opened the door and pushed him through.

It hadn’t been real, anyway. Not really.

He followed the nurse to the library slowly, so awed by this sudden turn of events that he didn't notice Willow sitting not too far off. Only when he saw the actual bookshelves did he snap back to his senses.
