Any minute now it was going to end.  He was going to wake up on a cold stone slab next to the wrong blonde and curse his subconscious for this latest experiment in cruel and unusual punishment.  This had to be a dream; there was no sodding way anything tonight actually happened.

Buffy would never let him in.  Except she had, and so he reckoned he

Awww, this was so lovely! Oh, all those overwhelming emotions Spike went through... His love for Buffy. His happiness over what happened between them earlier. His fear that Buffy might change her mind at any given moment. His humble joy when Buffy, instead of denying him, confided in him and let him comfort her and, most importantly, asked him to stay.

I loved the way they kept touching each other. All those touches were so delicate and full of meaning and emotions. *happy sigh*

It's the little things... the touches and stuff, that made this chapter one of my favourites to write. I love trying to show that intimacy between them so thank you for commenting on it, and Spike's rollercoastering emotions, too.

Very nice sense of connection between them, and I liked how you portrayed Spike's emotions all along and how Buffy trusts him with hers.

I will be away for a few days but count on me to come back for the next chapters. :)

Thank you! I will admit that the main reason behind this chapter being in Spike's head was to not write the Buffy - Joyce scene, since it didn't need to change at all. Plus, yeah, it was kind of fun to see what he thinks of all this and to show him still struggling with trying to change himself for Buffy...seems to be working though, doesn't it?

Glad you liked. I hope to have an update for you when you get back!
