Events were unfolding so rapidly that there was hardly any time to react.
Sam couldn't fathom how Angel had decided to join the Ultimate Human Department. Was this some kind of side effect of becoming lovers? Was she planning to invade every corner of Sam's life?
Occasionally, the cawing of crows could be heard from outside the window.

"How could that be? At least wait until I graduate, right?"
"Thanks a bunch for the well-wishes."
Their whispered exchange was not yet over when Angel suddenly called out Isabella's name.
