Even if they were going through a difficult moment he wanted to be with her, spend time with her and make up for lost time. Also he hated crowds so he was sticking close. "Do you remember the halloween you dressed up as a 18th century girl? You did look beautiful even if the costume was evil."

“I’m getting pretty severe flashbacks.” Angel mumbled as she looked at Buffy. He had his arm around her. It was comforting to have her next to him when everything just reminded him of just before he was turned vamp. The only thing he did to dress up was a white puffy shirt, undone a bit and black trousers and boots. But it was just all too familiar.

"My dancing skills are incredibly rusty but I will do my best to sweep you off your feet once more." Angel grinned at Buffy as they stepped into the event hand in hand. He was not the most social being, though he wanted to make tonight special for her.

"I know things have been a little tense so, I thought I'd make dinner." Angel glanced up at her as she entered the room. "Now it's been a while since I have cooked food so... hopefully it is alright." He glanced down at the meal he was making for her. He hated that he couldn't share her meals but wanted to do something special for her. After everything, he wanted to mend their bond.

"Promise you won't laugh too hard when I fall flat on my face during this." He knew why he had agreed to ice skating but it didn't mean he'd be any good at it. "Don't worry it's just us. I got the keys from a someone who owes me a favour." He held up the keys. "Hopefully it'll work out better this time."

Angel looked up at the night sky, it was so clear. He remembered a long time ago the sky was so clear like this but as the years went on, light pollution blocked out the stars. It was sort of nice to see that sky again. It was his job here. He was trying to avoid monster hunters, well other than Buffy. But he wasn't in danger from her unless he reverted back to his old ways. Which he never hoped to. "Buffy!" He saw her and smiled. He picked up his pace to get beside her. "I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise that you're out here at night too." He mused softly. The town went quiet at night except for a few.

"Did I mention you looked stunning tonight?" Angel leaned over to Buffy and pressed a kiss to her cheek. He was nervous about what this evening would bring but he hoped that they would have a fun evening with no danger. "Drink, dancing or exploring?"

This was the last place he wanted to be but at least he was here with Buffy. He hated being pulled into these horrible things, just wanting some peace and quiet with her but here they were. "We will get out of this." He kept her hand in his as they walked down the series of paths, the corn looming tall. He was very nervous what they might find but didn't want to show her that he was.
