Two chapters? Wow...you made my day. This chapter may have been short but it was big in other ways. Spike finally begining to sense just how deeply aware of Buffy he really is...he did not kill the kid because of her...he is deeply attracted to & dreaming of her...he wants answers about her. You have Spike put into words what he feels for Dawn & open up to her. You have things between Buffy & Spike start to come out. Spike & Buffy's "talk" outside was so good from Spike's...“Make me.” he challenged, his tongue stroking the back of his teeth" to his...“I don’t love you yet”. The encounter was made even more powerful by scared Buffy resorting to hitting him again...in her defense he wasn't talking so much as challenging her...and Buffy's vunerable...“You don’t love me anymore”. You have set the stage for some powerful emotions & tummy tingling UST...not to mention danger. I am all for it.

Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow! It's all beginning to come together! Thanks for the extra chappie today (wonderful stuff!), but of course, I ALWAYS want more!!! Hope you have a great long weekend! :)
