I did have to go back and read the previous chapter to get up to speed. But now I am! I love the way Buffy is reluctantly warming up to Spike. I've always thought that Season V was his best shot and something healthy and real with her. Can't wait for next chapter!

Thank you! And I agree about Season 5. More soon - really! ;-)

There aren't enough yays in the world!

Wonderful dialogue, I especially like your Anya.

Thank you, Susan!

You're evil. Really, really evil. Because you're going to leave them there for another 5 months, tiil the next chapter arrives...

But, seriously - great job. I love that Buffy takes risks. I love that she is snarky with Spike. I love that young!Giles is hard to convince. The plot is tight and exciting, and the characters voices are spot-on. Looking forward to the next part.

While I don't blame you for doubting me, I promise not to leave Buffy and Spike (and you) in the lurch for 5 months! Not even 5 weeks. Five days, maybe. ;-)

And thank you as always for your lovely comments!

I had to reread to remember everything that's going on. Oh the hardship! ;-) And now I'm all up to speed (again) and excited to see how everything's going to turn out.

Hee - sorry! I'm very grateful you're still reading and enjoying. :-)

"Yeah right. Just like all the other times I was going to stake you."

Nice banter and habit between Buffy and Spike - even in these dire times.

Thanks! And thanks for all your comments today on the other chapters as well. :-)
