Finally, Buffy was able to just tell it to them straight, but damn, seems as though it didn't penetrate into Willow's brain. I understand that scared of losing your friendship thing, but enough with the nosey....she doesn't want Angel...period. That should've been enough, but of course, it isn't. I like that you've showed the relationship (in canon too) between the four. That's exactly how Buffy was treated on the show, and it's a wonder she lasted with their interference for so long. Great job, and I can't wait for the next chapter....hopefully, Spike (in all his sexy glory) will be there.
