Yeah....Yeah, Steven's in that early phase of young love. He's got a lot of feelings, whole lotta feelings. Shares'em, too. Kinda...Kinda a new thing for me to be dealing with. And it turns out he's never really had an actual, for real relationship before so that's a whole other thing. I gotta be like...present and supportive and stuff. Poor guy didn't even realize you can argue or fight and still be together, thought I was dumping him the first time I got pissy at him.

[This is not what Jack is used to in his relationships. It's weird. It's been almost two decades since he was in any sort of traditional relationship with someone who had normal emotional needs. He's not complaining, it's just been an adjustment for him. And Angel can understand, she knows the people he's been with since he started calling himself 'Jack'.]

But I wouldn't hold out any hope of me making any radical changes, sweetheart. Couple a little ones, sure, you know I'm trying. But I'm not gonna start making nice with anybody else from back home - I tried, it was thrown back in my face. I'm not gonna friggin bother if it doesn't make a difference. I wanna fix shit with me and you, but that's it. And that's not coming from anybody else's influence or anything, I just...you're my daughter. And regardless of how fucked up everything got, I love you and I want us to be family again.

[As if he hasn't made this clear multiple times over. He just can't grasp why, despite him saying as much multiple times, she won't accept that he wants to make things better between them. He even once went so far as to admit that maybe he had made some mistakes, what more could he say?]
