"I never--" Angel stopped abruptly. There was nothing to protest except her use of the name they'd assigned him. He wasn't sure why the truth, why something he already knew, had surprised him so much. Maybe because it wasn't her, except it so obviously was. He knew her scent.
He looked down, trying to find something to say as the heavy silence stretched on. And he could've asked the string of questions running through his mind (did I hurt you?), but there was no point. He'd only be confirming what he remembered far too well.
"Sorry," he said finally, not too clear what he was apologizing for (everything) but knowing it didn't matter, anyway, because it changed nothing. "I just--I didn't expect to see you."
