You're right. They've both come a long way, in their character development as well as their characters. *g*

I would *love* to know where you thought we were going. I'm still thinking about the chapter when Xander learns Giles killed Dru and what that lesson meant for him. His coming to terms with trust and how Angel might have actually been more trustworthy in that situation than Giles. The early parts after X's abduction... it was so clear he wanted to escape. Much less clear now...

Yes, permanent holiday! That's it! May I come?
