I like the balance of light humor and introspective seriousness in this chapter.
My favorite line is: "until she was sure that she could do something about them."
Shows you know the character.

This was a sweet chappie.. liked their convo and Buffy treating Spike with kindness and saying she could love him and to give her time.
Oh if only they had shown a scene like this on the show..I swear I was waiting for it all thru Season 7. =(
Great story, really liking it!

I am really loving this story, it seems like he would be saying exactly what you wrote. Which I guess it what you were going for. Great writing and I can't wait for me. =]

(I can't see your banner - you link looks a bit weird to me as if there is missing something.)
It's important hat they had the time to talk; less possibilities for misunderstandings and they get to know the other better.
Oh boy and did they need the talk.
Looking forward to the next part.
Author's Response: Hmm...weird. I can see the banner. I wonder if I'm the only one.
I'll have to check around. Thanks for letting me know. :)

I want to know what they're watching. If they flipped back to either movie now that the mood is lighter. :)

Very cute. Buffy handled that just fine. That was great interaction.

Awe :)
Loved it - they are so cute :)
Not easy for Buffy to open up to Spike.

*eeeep* Absolutely loved this chapter! Can't wait for more of this story. :)

just found this and am really enjoying the complexity of both their feelings. emotional, but not emo. it's sometimes a hard balance with these two, at this stage, dealing with the aftermath of Seeing Red. great job.
and of course spike would mock dirty dancing. ;D

THat was great. I'm loving this story

I like Buffy treating Spike with kindness, although she definitely needs to work out her feelings. Hooray for Buffy wanting Spike to love her. I am all for it as long as she realizes that, it is a bit selfish to hold her heart and love from him forever.

This was such a sweet chapter. Loved how she kissed him , that's progress. So cute when she was playing with his hair. Hopefully they'll get to a good place soon.
Loved it!

This was so sweet. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I like how easy and conversational this comes off. You have a low emotional vibe to everything in lieu of an angsty shock, and you don't give into the temptation to amp it up. Both spike and buffy are in character and have some great moments - spike being mad at himself for falling asleep, buffy tricking him into the "healed" line - but it's all wonderfully understated.

I have to say you bring a lot of good observations to the table. I love the" three things she offered" line. It is effective, characteristic of spike, and packs punch. I also like how you get in Buffy's head. It seems to flow well. I often find that, especially in season 6 and 7 fics, I can't picture buffy saying or doing what she does, but this one works. Although I will say i wasn't expecting her to sleep in the same bed as spike.
What really, really put this fic over the top, though, was Dawn's insight into how her sister was acting, and tying it back to Joyce. That shows you really have a feel for the show in general and all the characters. Shows a lot of thought on your part.

Another lovely chapter. Can't wait for more!
