Just to let you know in this chapter you mention
'dark grotto green eyes'
And in an earlier chapter where, Spike asks Buffy what he doesn't understand. You say hazel eyes :S
I'm just confused..

That was a perfect chapter. I can just imagine the whole discussion about the bowl (which I hope survived the near accident). And Buffy and Spike and her with the not sharing and the whole clearly falling for each other thing. Really loving the whole thing and looking forward to the next update, whenever it is.

Oooh! Great installment! I love how the two are characterized and how they have to go through the trials of building a real relationship rather than just falling in bed together. Though that is entertaining in itself, it's not as rewarding as this. I can't wait to read what's next!

Nay, Spike isn't counting the time gone by after the incident. ~ Cute :) Spike missed Buffy when he was running and Buffy was pouting because he didn't run with him :) And the accident brought Buffy back the nightmares... and this brought Buffy her first kiss from Spike. ~ Loved the chapter!

ooh, bad buffy. making spike go away like that. what was she thinking? obviously she wasn't thinking very much. i kinda wish she would tell him about Angel. i mean, her told her about the issues with dru and they were very painful. granted, she's alive, but still. anyway, tell him already. and finally admit that yeah, you like him buffy. if he went so far as to admit to himself that he kinda had a thing for her, why can't she? denial much? i understand the hurt and not trusting herself cuz of what happened to angel, but does she think that will happen to every guy she likes? and hey, spike hasn't kept any secrets from her like angel did.

Glad to see all this tension between them finally coming to a head. Can't wait to see what's next.

Man...Buffy is trying desperatly to stay in denial..Something tells me that she is going to have a tougher and tougher time doing that. It will be interesting to see what Spike thinks with their parents almost married..Great update!

i liked the car accident part in there. and her reaction was really realistic. i was in a really bad one when i was 10 and i've been terrified ever since, even fender benders scare me if i get in one, and i freak out about them days after wards.

i hope buffy can explain somethings to spike soon.

And now things get even more complicated. I knew they were bound to kiss eventually, but it's obvious Buffy likes him in that way. She's probably just confused, but I wouldn't say it was wrong. Her parents aren't exactly married yet and even if they do get married, she still won't be related to him. But I suppose I can understand why she thinks that right now. That was the perfect opportunity for Buffy to tell Spike about her accident, knowing that he had a similar experience. She really needs to talk about it, she might find that it helps. I know how she feels about that, though. Ever since my accident last year, I panic and have a flashback whenever the car jerks or gets too close to another car. It's hard to get over something like that, especially if someone died. I hate driving even more now, not that I do it all that often. Anyway, I'm glad to see an update for this. Great chapter=)
