This chapter is illuminated by Spike's protective love for Liam.
The stubborn set of Spike’s mouth coaxed Angel forward, and he kissed it carefully. The kiss was hardly sexy. Too painful, with his split lip. But it was reassuring, and nice.
Angel hadn’t told Spike he loved him yet. But he would. As soon as he stopped feeling raw and new-skinned. As soon as the moment could hold some joy. As soon as he wasn’t scared shitless of his life.
I love him giving him the bird, too. That's so Spike, when he's killing himself inside with love for his boy.
