[These are the days that Angel both dreads and looks forward to the most, the ones where Jack comes to see her in person. Its easier dealing with Jack --dealing with everything-- when he's just a voice and a screen. It offers a level of detachment that angel can accept, one that's impossible to ignore when he's here in the flesh. A reminder of what they've both become. But... he's also her dad. And that alone brings comfort to a deep longing that she pushed down and out of mind a long time ago. When he visits, that small sliver of hope for the father he once was is always rekindled for a moment, and she hangs on to it with everything she's got.]

[Today she smiles back.]
Hello, Jack.
