Love the "Summer Nights" flip flopping. A unique way to portray the excitement of a new relationship. And it is the question, what does happen when they have to be enemies in the court room. Bet it will make the sex more interesting. Great chapter.

Author's Response: I liked writing back and forth, it changed it up a little. The sex is always interesting!

Not sure if Buffy meant her declaration already but Spike did. Buffy is lucky... Spike can cook. ;))

Author's Response: Yeah....in and out of bed!

They are enjoying it now... still waiting for the trial..

Enjoying.

Author's Response: Like their relationship, the legal system also takes some time. Don't worry I didn't forget about the trial

Love them finally taking the step, and so magnificently. Amazing chapter. Thanks for it.

Author's Response: thanxs! I'm glad that you read and responded! Since I've hadn't many reviews, I thought maybe the readers didn't like my chapter. Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease some

Sounds as if they solved their tension now. ;))
Hot :))

Author's Response: It's resolved....for now! Remember once you've tasted perfection it's almost impossible to not go back for seconds and thirds and fourths......

Poor Spike and Buffy are in a bad way! More please!

Author's Response: more is coming my sweet!

They try so hard, and really don't have to. Gotta love the irony that they are both suffering. I bet one of them surrenders before Tuesday. Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: It often sucks to do the "right" thing!

Waiting for the Spuffyness... and can we say .. conflict of interest.. or something like that... like a reason to declare a mistrial..

Author's Response: You won't have to wait much longer...I promise! Also two attorneys in a personal relationship cannot cause a mistrial. They are on equal footing in the court. Now if there was a relationship between the judge and an attorney or an attorney and client....then that is unethical. Mistrials are only called if: (1)The court determining that it lacks jurisdiction over a case, Evidence being admitted improperly, (2)Misconduct by a party, juror, or an outside actor, if it prevents due process, (3)A hung jury which cannot reach a verdict with the required degree of unanimity (4)Disqualification of a juror after the jury is impanelled, if no alternate juror is available and the litigants do not agree to proceed with the remaining jurors.

Lovely. Who wouldn't want to have someone apologize to them like that.

We will see how long Buffy lasts on this courtship thing.. She was just as much the aggressor as Spike if not more.

Author's Response: Well...she's a smart woman and she knows what she wants!

Yeah, it's pretty hard not to forgive him after that. Fine man that William. Lovely chapter. Glad they're going to do it right.

Won't they get in trouble in court when they are dating, working on the same case?
William was quicker to find what he wanted to wear; Buffy may have taken longer but it was definitely the right choice it seems. ;)
Good that Buffy wants a second chance as does William because both told it didn't went well (clever solution not to write it itself, just to let the other tell about it).

Author's Response: No they won't get in trouble. It is not an ethical issue for lawyers to date each other even if they represent opposite sides of counsel. If Spike was the attorney and Buffy a client that would be an issue.
