I think interest might be tapering off on this fic, so here's an extra long chapter for you (only a few more left). Thank you for all of the great reviews for this fic- I'm very protective over it, so they mean a lot :-)
23. Brand New Girl by Ashlee [Reviews - 19] (1416 words)
24. Ever After... by Ashlee [Reviews - 39] (1346 words)
Yep, this is it. It's been a hellish ride (for both me and Buffy) so I hope you enjoyed the story- angst and all. I don't want to say it was a lot of fun to write, because the content won't allow me to say that, but I am very protective over this one (rightfully so) and I hope you liked it. Even if it wasn't 'entertaining', I hope it was...something. Thank you for all of the supportive reviews, letting me know that I got into the psyche of an abused woman- that's what I aspired to do and it wasn't fun, but it's very fulfilling now that it's over.
