I concur, 200%.

I like this, headcanon accepted.

There is no other logic. She saw his smile, there is no possible way she didn't know something was going on there.

Interesting. I like that but what would have given him the impression that she did know?

It's highly possible her continued pursuit was partially due to her and Buffy's rivalry, but I also think she genuinely thought he was a hottie and wanted some Angel smoochies lol.
Exactly, she was totally smitten. As I said, you can see it in the way she looks at him after Buffy leaves the Bronze.

Lorne's "It's fate. It's the stars" comes to mind.

I love waxing poetic about these two in here. No other ship makes me gush this much haha.
*sigh* CA is poetry!
I don't think any other ship has so much amazing subtext and development.
