CANT wait to read the update on wednesday. thanx

Yes! This is the way it's supposed to be. Not with the paparazzi, of course, but the moment in the shower. Buffy's having all these little epiphanies, and they're making me believe that this time, they really will last. I really like the fact that, though they've probably both changed a bit over the intervening three years, they're still essentially the same people they were when they were first together. Obviously, they've both grown up some, especially Buffy, but I can tell that their hearts are still the same. And that just struck me as something important.

As always, I loved this chapter. Great work!
