*sigh* How is this saying - you made your bed - you're lying in it. I never been a lover to a married man. I can't think how Buffy got into this relationship, but I think it's very easy to get in and to realize to late what your bargained. *Reading on*

so are we going to find out about who spike's wife is?

Awesome. These two chapters make me wanna hit Buffy as much as I do Spike. *wg* I love thought that Buffy is already starting to pull herself together and realize she deserves better than her current situation. Looking forward to more of your story, as always.

I don't mind dark , when it's having hopeful vibes .. Will it be the case ? Thank you for warning us. I think it might be a truly interesting view of our beloved couple.. but of course , i will have some hard time if Spike is really an insensitive bastard.. And i'm looking forward to Buffy's reactions : I hope we will see her strong and wild , and possessive , fighting for her love.. Sorry , I got carried away! So I will wait for two or three more chapters , before saying i don't like it.

Author's Response: Don't worry, there will definitely be hopeful vibes, but there is a lot of angst. Spike's not really an insensitve bastard, but he does have one particular moment (there will be a warning before that chapter, but again, he's not violent). So far, I have written Buffy as both strong-willed and weak. I've tried to keep it as real as possible (and she will eventually fight for him, but it's a long time coming). Thanks for reviewing!
