Way too late to write much, but I really liked this chapter. Spike's mother was a nice touch for a choice, and her words about the Powers not being as forgiving. I hope the soul isn't the entire happy ending with Buffy, though.

Thanks for the update!!

Author's Response: Oh no, if anything the soul is nothing more than a complication to Buffy at this point of the show. LOL. Thanks for taking the time to review, despite it being late! I appreciate it.
