This is a work of fan fiction and is not intended for publication or sale.

Author’s notes: This short story takes place right after the "Pangs" & "I Will Remember You" crossover episodes (which I suggest you watch before you read this). This short story is mainly meant to explore the range of emotions that Angel experiences having had his heart’s desire for a fleeting moment and how he immediately dealt with the repercussions that it caused within him. Internal dialog is represented in Italics.

Teaser: An Angel story that takes place right after the episode "I Will Remember You" and before "Hero".
