From the last book it was pretty obvious that something had happened to Clover in her last relationship. And it was something that stopped her pursuing anything with Angel. Even if it was obvious that she wanted too. Add to that the fact that Angel had never really been in a serious relationship and you could see why they needed to time to tell one another their feelings. […]
