*Bill walks home thinking about his day*
"Well that was intense..." Bill sighs
Though there was a heavy feeling lingering in the air, Bill made sure to numb his emotions
He liked doing this, right?...
He always used to.
He would kill, rape, abuse, and hurt people frequently

He couldn't admit it to himself, but he was starting to feel guilty
Bill: "Please, she was a walrus, why would I feel bad?..."
He tells himself, inhaling the smoke from his cigarette

He walks near Angel's home.. His eyes softening
*He faces towards it and looks out*
There was definitely an energy shift in the house
Angel wasn't there...
He looks up at her bedroom window
Bill: "I wonder what she usually does in there..." He exhales
He stares for a little longer until he walks away, each footstep of his, gentle

*BZZ BZZ*

Bill immediately smiles looking at his phoneAngel?

Bill immediately smiles looking at his phone
Angel?...
Bill picks up the call*
Bill: "Hey, doll"
Angel: "Is the play tonight? I'm feeling better.. I can't miss it"
Not even a HI BACK?
NO INTRODUCTION
Bill is a little hurt...
He ignores his emotions and replies
Bill: "No.. Don't worry darling, thats tomorrow, not today" he laughs
Angel: "Oh.. Alright"
Bill decides to ask her what's been on his mind
Bill: "How are you feeling?..."

What if she was back to her old self? What if the effect of the bite has worn off?...
He didn't want her to stop liking him...
Angel: "My head still hurts a little"
Bill: "Well yea no shit... I mean emotionally"
She pauses..
Angel: "Hm... Well, I do remember you bit me" she sighs through the phone
Ugh.. so much for nothing... She didn't like him anymore.
He pauses, not answering
Angel: "But after, you showed me that you aren't that bad.. I forgive you, and I'm sorry for underestimating you." She says quietly, apologizing
Bill's heart flutters for a second, his face feeling more warm
...

Until he realizes Angel's wrong.
I mean, what did he just do to Lizbeth a few hours ago?
He WAS that bad. She was right. He wasn't a good person. She never underestimated him..
The same feeling of guilt looms over his soul..
His mouth parts*
