"You think I'm up to something," Angel said. "But you're wrong. I just want... well, there really isn't anything I can do to make this up to Wesley, I know that. But I want to. If being with you is going to make him happy, and I can make that easier..."
"He means a lot to you," Spike commented after a moment. "Goes both ways." He took a breath and forced himself to do what was right. "If he wants to come back here - later on, when he's had time to think - I'm not going to stop him. Might argue a bit, but I won't say no." It was something like a deal with Angel that they wouldn't let their feelings for each other get in the way of Wesley's happiness.
"Yeah, well... good thing holding my breath isn't an issue, huh?" Angel didn't sound depressed, exactly. More resigned. "Just... do what you can to make him happy. That's what's important."
"I know it is," Spike said. "I've always felt that way about the people I love. You should know that."
