EM October - Take A Chance On Me
She had her Slayers back, sort of. Sure, she still needed to talk with Giles and Faith and Wesley and get all the details sorted out, but for the most part? Buffy was back where she’d been before, only without Roger. Also without Spike saying he was in love with her all the time, which was pretty odd and she wasn’t quite sure what to think about it

I love you. I need you to understand that because it is something that will never change. The thing is, I never intended to move to LA for good. Selfishly, I'd hoped you want to move to New York because Faith and I were based there. I thought we could start our own business or I could help you with the East Coast slayers. My visit here was because I missed you, and I wanted to spend some quality time with you. I'd missed my friends, and with Kara and Addie in Florida until things resolved with her marriage it seemed like a good time to vacation.
I can't leave Kara yet. I'm hoping you understand why. Darla broke her heart in a way that I'm not sure she is going to recover from. Her biological father did the same. Every time she has a parent, she loses them, and she blames herself. She thinks she is unlovable and that she drives them away. She's my daughter in every way that matters, and really I'm not ready to put three thousand miles between her and myself. My grandchildren are in New York as well.
If you can't come to New York, then we'll make it work. We could alternate weekends on the coasts or something. I haven't spoken with Faith, but maybe she will want to move back if you don't want to be here. Ideally, yes, I'd like you to move in with me and be on the same coast as me, but I don't expect you to uproot your entire life for me. No matter where we live, Buffy, I'm committed to you and to working this out. I'm not in a position to move from New York right now, but we've worked around bigger obstacles than this before. I hope you'll stay at the hotel for the next few months while I'm here, but I will understand if my inability to make this a full time move changes things.
Love,
Angel

Oh, hey, Wesley, Giles, and Faith are going to work with me. Just like you said, remember? When you suggested that? Well, it worked. Or, I think it's going to work, but at least the idea was yours and we're giving it a shot.
I love you. I'm sorry. God, I feel like I'm in high school again and I really hope the voicemail won't cut me off because I get it, I do. I'm just nervous around you sometimes, especially when it comes to stuff like this. Addie, I miss her. I think she likes me.
This has a point somewhere, and I'm getting to it, really. I'm just starting to rebuild everything on my own, and I like it. I like being someone who's in charge but not the general of a war and I like this life. Maybe I'll always be a West Coast Girl at heart, I don't know, but..."
BEEP.

Anyway, before your cell cuts me off again, call me when you get here and maybe we can all do a day together? I don't know, somewhere fun, maybe? I'll drive you to the Sunnydale Crater. Kidding! See, I get weird talking around you, like I can't talk right sometimes, but I guess that's what you get when you love someone.
Gotta run. Oh, did I tell you that Faith was a really good kisser, because when I..."
BEEP.
