What? Why was she sorry? Oh no. She had already felt bad enough about how she had treated Benny, and now Angel was going to confess something... she just knew it. Crap. Going back and forth with her emotions wasn't doing a thing for her mood. Just when she thought she had one thing figured out, some other revelation came and smacked her in the face. Only it wasn't about Benny. AJ waved off the apology.
"Don't worry about it." Yeah, it had sucked and AJ was hurt by it at first, but she had moved on. The apology was nice. People were humans and made mistakes.
Yeah, she figured that much, but it felt like something that needed to be said.
"We're going to get you through this." What? Surely, there was more to it than that.
"Oh. Well, that sucks." Sensitive much, AJ?
"I just mean that I don't think that should be a deal breaker." Then again Benny was going to be dealing with those creatures so the person you were going to be with probably needed to be okay with that. Of course there wasn't any need to actually tell Angel that.
AJ smiled at hr slightly younger sister.
"Of course. I will always be here for you," she said as she hugged her sister back.
"So, do you want to talk more about it, or have some fun?" Whatever she needed to do to get through it all, AJ would be willing.
