Angel shook his head fondly. "Well, to be fair, I haven't quite managed to stop performing. There's been a lot of charity stuff, and I've been working on this with the guys for a couple of months. I can't deny that doing the Motown stuff was really fucking fun and it could be something I might be tempted by. Maybe when Lance recovers, assuming he still wants to be in the group if that happens. It's up in the air with them, but I love working with them. I'd love to collaborate with them more. I'm okay not touring and being chained in the recording studio, though. I don't think I could ever really just cut myself off cold turkey. Plus? I want Daisy to have a musical influence right through. She might not end up musical herself, but there's so much beauty in music. It's stuff like this here tonight that reminds me of that."

He nodded. "Still can't believe that. Things have come a full circle. We didn't think we had him for much longer, and that was really fucking hard. It made life feel hard, made remembering the good things hard. Then it just all suddenly smacks you in the face how precious life is and how many we shouldn't spend so much time waiting for the right time for things. What do you say, gorgeous? Think we should set a date? And no. We don't have to go public. In fact, I know someone in the business who has been secretly married for nearly a year. It can be done."
