mayfever agrees: didn't she describe the meeting as "intense"?
Yes, Buffy did say that, but she didn't go into any detail whatsoever as to exactly what about the meeting was intense. Maybe they fell into each others' arms, weeping and renewing their vows of eternal, total love for each other. Maybe Angel made Buffy swear that she would never throw her life away again to save a silly irritating little twit like Dawn.
Or maybe Buffy asked him what he had done while she was gone.
Angel: I just couldn't face the world without you in it. I hid myself away in a Tibetan monastery until I could...
Buffy: You...Hold it, now, let me get this straight. My sister was left all alone, virtually an orphan, and my friends were left patrolling the hellmouth with a plastic and tin animated Buffy Sex Doll for back up, and YOU went to a f***ing MONASTERY? Big, bad, champion Angel can leave off "helping the helpless" foe a whole summer, and he can't even drop by to see if he could be of any help around here? Mr Holier-Than-The-Average-Vampire-Because-I've;Got-A-F***ING-SOUL Angel toddles off to the high mountains to meditate on his belly button and drink yak blood and leaves my little sister, who means so much to me that I was willing to die for her, in the care of a soulless vampire who you've always said had no honor and couldn't be trusted under ANY circumstances? THAT'S how you mourn me and honor my memory?
Angel:Uh...well...I guess it sounds pretty bad if you put it that way. But, see, there was this super powerful demon who told me that if I didn't do that, as bad as things were, they were going to be even worse. In fact, I was in Tibet raising an army of Shaolin monks to attack Sunnydale and kill everyone there, because if I didn't do that, everybody in the world was gonna die. So I just figured, you know, kill a few hundred people in order to save the world...So, see, it really wasn't me who didn't go to Sunnydale and help out, it was that demon, who was in control of my body...
Buffy: That is so f***ing lame it defies description. Willow's f***ing cat could have come up with...AW...what the hell. Kiss me, you fool, and then I've got to get back to the hellmouth. And I've got an uncontrollable desire for...
Angel: But my curse...
Buffy: Oh, get over your f***ing self. I want some fried chicken, and there's a Kentucky Fried right on the way back home. Now, kiss me quick, cause that extra crispy is calling...
Maybe Buffy was just intensely hungry for some fried chicken.
