Los Angeles nights hum with danger. Angel, fresh from Sunnydale and heartbroken, spots Alice, Faith’s sister, at a club. He keeps his distance, fearing history repeating. But when a vampire corners her, he intervenes, saving her life. As she thanks him and turns to leave, he calls out, 'Wait,' desperation warring with his vow to stay away.
