Regret took him as soon as he stepped into the office.  “Angel,” Cordy called out.  “Help me out with this quiz, will you?”  Holding up a Cosmo, she read, “If you could go back and change anything in your past, what would it be?”

Angel thought of his father, whipped to within an inch of his life, crawling through cow dung.  He remembered how his mother’s eyes had bulged as he choked the life out of her.  His sister had screamed as he’d torn her doll apart.  She’d screamed louder later.

“Not now, Cordy,” he growled.

“Excuse me, Mr. Broodypants.”
