And he wished he could have some of that Irish courage for the making of that particular confession. But if he wanted any sort of honesty from Spike, he really was going to have to give as good as he got.
"Well, it's all different now, ain't it? And it's your fault. You made us like this. Set us on the bleeding path. Me and Dru, we knew what we were doing, we were all happy." As happy as they could be. William took a while to want that life but once he got there, once he learned it, it was hard to go back on it. To return to what he'd been.
"Then you come back and it's all changed. We're supposed to have gotten the memo." Angelus wasn't who he used to be and what the hell did that mean for him now. "You left."

Just to drive the point home that he wasn't the man he once was, he let go of Spike to sit down on his knees in front of him.

"Dunno how to be with you. It's too much."

He'd left, and then he'd never returned. In the flesh, maybe, but he'd never been there for Spike. Not in the way he did try to be for Dru.
"But I'm here now. Really here."
Cautiously, he put a hand on Spike's knee.
"If you'll let me."
