If you're reading checking the reviews to decide whether to read this story, let me help you out. Yes, you should definitely read it.

That is, if you like pure wish fulfillment and treacle, if you don't mind character worship of William and character bashing of Riley, Angel, and any woman who's not a caretaker, and if you really groove on authors who will only let positive reviews stand. This is the story for you.

If, on the other hand, you value literary craft, characterization, and proofreading in your stories, then you might wish to look elsewhere.

There now, that's a review worth deleting. See the difference, dear author?

Author's Response: Blimey, you REALLY have an axe to grind, don't you? - FYI I have NEVER had children. It was a decision my husband an myself came to 22 years ago, and have never regretted it. So i'm not a 'caretaker' . I've NEVER had what you would call a 'career' either - i'm a housewife and cook, who likes to write stories - that's all. See the thing is, you can contact me - i don't hide behind 'anonymous' reviews. I hope you feel safe in your ivory tower, dolling out your bile and vitriol - tell me do you do this because you're lonely?

Angel is such a creep! It figures that he would be the cause of Buffy and William's first big falling out. Can't wait to read more. Great chapter.

loved the chapter!!! i still hate angel, he was a jerk when he was little and now he's an ass, keep up the great work, i cant wait for next chap
