This chapter was fabulous!! I loved, loved, loved the part where you talked about Buffy thinking Angel was the real thing & how she came to realize it was Spike. I've said it before, but I love the angst of the B/S relationship and this chapter shows how much you loved it too. Hearts & flower relationships are usually based on fantasy,and reality usually crashes in on them. My boyfriend drives me crazy, but i love him to death which is why i put up with all the stuff that drives me crazy!!!! Noone is perfect so everyone needs someone who will love the flaws as much as the good stuff. Great job!!!!

I need to start off by saying that due to someone else using Beth as a reviewing name I have had to choose something else but I am still here! Btw great job on the chapter and whatever happened to cordy? maybe she could magically appear and sweep angel off his feet? I knos probably ridicuous but I am a sucker for a happy ending!

You have a right to be proud of this fic, as this chapter demonstrates. Your prose has a lyrical quality I find irresistable. And, your explanation of the path of Buffy's love makes absolute sense. Every character seems fully realized - I even feel sorry for Angel here. Kudos! And oh, yeah, bring on the spuffy!
