Title: Moments
Rating: PG
Summary: There are moments, small moments really, where she stops. No matter what she is doing, where she was going a moment earlier, she stops, and she misses him.
Disclaimer: I do not own Buffy the Vampire Slayre. I don’t even look like Joss Whedon.
Author's Note: Set sometime in the summer between Season Three and Season Four.



There are moments, small moments really, where she stops. No matter what she is doing, where she was going a moment earlier, she stops, and she misses him. There are also bigger moments, when her bed is lonely and cold at night, or when something important happens, and her first instinct is to tell him about it, before she remembers that he’s gone.

But mostly, it’s the little ones, the sudden pang in her heart, like a cut that doesn’t hurt until you look at it.

She allows herself that one moment to miss him, to mourn for what they had. But after that moment, she keeps moving on. Because she has to. Because it’s the only thing that she can do.

Thank you. :) I'm glad you liked it. I'm a little rusty with writing in the Buffy fandom, but Buffy/Angel is my first love, so, it's always nice to return to it.

Oh...I'd like to think that this is how Buffy felt. You nailed it ) Last sentence is sooo true ))
Thanks for this. I miss BA! )

I think, given Buffy thinking she saw Angel at the Bronze in the first episode of Season Four, that she probably did feel like this. At least, I would hope so.

I miss them too, I really do.

I'm glad you liked this, thanks for reading. :)
