Ok, i really hadnt expected that in this chappy and i love it! The whole chap was wonderful. From her opening up and him just listening, to her admitting he and Dawn was enough, for him realizing his declarations may have been more harmful than good at the time. I really just loved this from beginning to end, though visually again, Dawn and Clem lol (shakes but with a sappy smile). Was she a virgin in this fic by the way? And ooh, i wonder if Clem and Dawn are about to get busted lol, cant wait, off for more!

Author's Response: Aw, it's SOO nice to see more reviews from you! You truly rock my world, hon! Okay, so, I would like to first and foremost thank you for your sweet comments! I'm glad you enjoyed this chappie! Yes, the part about her "realizing his declarations may have been more harmful than good at the time", was exactly what I was getting at! I realize that Buffy truly was a horrible person to Spike in season 6 but I've always believed that it takes *two* people to destroy a relationship, not just one. So, I wanted to emphasize that Spike did have to take the blame for part of the downfall that was their entire relationship. I'm happy to see I achieved that!! =D Also, Dawn/Clem is admittedly a CRAAZY pairing but oh-so fun to write so it's nice to see someone taking it in stride and just chillaxing about it : P. Yes, she was a virgin and I'm terribly sorry I didn't go to in depth with the sex scene, I just wanted to be able to focus more on the Spuffy. But, yes, she was a virgin and Clem was her first *grins*. LOL Thank you SOO much, hon, for your fantabulous review! *smooches*

Well Dawn/Clem is definitely nothing for me. ;)
It's really good that Buffy talked, opened up to Spike, sharing her feelings/thoughts.

Author's Response: Hiya cordykitten! =) Yeah, it really is a good thing thing that Buffy has finally let Spike in. Good communication for their relationship and all that jazz. : P Thanks for reviewing *hugs*!
