I love that image of him at the bar scribbling away, alone in his thoughts surrounded by a room full of people. It's nice to see them happy; they seem like two different people. The contrast from the cordial man and woman at the beginning of the story is so sad.
Author's Response: I loved writing them happy. It was a nice change. I don't see them as different people, more so as complimentary. They balance each other. I feel that's important in a relationship. One needs to push, when the other pulls. Ying and yang. (insert other examples here) Even with his "Spike" exterior, he's still William at heart.

Always nice to read a happy Spike and Buffy.. and now what carelessness of his ended the marriage.
Waiting for Buffy.. enjoyed
Author's Response: It's nice to write a happy Spike and Buffy, too!! Thanks, Pam, for reading, enjoying, and reviewing.

Sounds like fate that the car isn't starting, huh?
Heh... Buffy is indeed very very stubborn.
Author's Response: Yup, Buffy is stubborn. But so isn't our favorite leading man. One can't brush off fate!

Thanks for the update.
Thanks, too, for your kind words in your last reply. We've been together for 20 years, too, and we're not the same people we were at 18. It doesn't help that my husband's job has him away from home so much, either. It is difficult to admit that you love someone, but that s/he might no longer be the right life partner for you. Conflicting life goals and expectations that were obscured by young love have a way of sneaking up and creating friction later on. The real test is to continue to support and love one another, yet let each other go if need be. And then like you, we have kids too, so we will always be parenting partners. Protecting and loving the kids has to be the number one priority. I'm glad that you were able to make things work for the two of you. We will, too, it will just take time. *hugs*
:)
Author's Response: You're so welcome, IT. I understand completely. Even though I haven't gone through the same events these characters have, a lot of awkwardness, stubborness, conflict, and love has been based from real life. This story has been very catharic to me. I'm glad you can relate and enjoy my story. I hope all goes well, with whatever path you and your husband chose. Big hugs ;)

Love her cold car stand off. And that she's stuck there another night. Only a matter of time now! Update soon!
Author's Response: Yup, their forced time together will bring about the needed conversations...in due time. More will be coming soon

Date: 05/22/2011 - 09:59 pm Title: Chapter 11: Stubborness
Man,seriously "stubborn" is their middle name. Aggh!
I do like their bantering,even if it is frustrating.lol
I thought Buffy was gonna stay in her car all day. Spike knows her well though, and knew to prepare her the hot chocolate. :)
I'd like to be in this story so I can knock some sense into them. *g* I hope some conversation starts now..
Loved it, can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks, Ami! Yup, she's stubborn. I would love to write a cameo for you! LOL!!! Now that she is stuck there, them talking will be inevitable. It may not happen right away, but I promise IT WILL HAPPEN! Thanks for your review.

Date: 05/22/2011 - 05:34 pm Title: Chapter 11: Stubborness
The Buffy and Will antics made me LOL! So Buffy has to spend another night at Will's place. Hopefully they'll talk some! Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: I'm flattered I made you laugh, that was my goal!!! More will be coming soon.

Date: 05/22/2011 - 01:03 pm Title: Chapter 11: Stubborness
Great chapter, can't wait to see how Buffy and William deal with Buffy's unexpected longer stay.
Author's Response: Thanks, Anna. The pair will deal with her unexpected longer stay, but it will be a ride!

Love it...Does he have the cables?( I mean, whatever cables...something to make the car run:)I really think he did it. Last attempt to see, if they can work it out....I really like this, thank you for sharing:)
Author's Response: Yes and no. He had cables, but he lent them to a neighbor and they were gone for the holidays. I'm glad you enjoyed. More will be coming soon

Date: 05/22/2011 - 10:55 am Title: Chapter 11: Stubborness
Boy, those two can throw those angry.. words around.
Husbands hardly ever listen to their wives.. unless the answer is Yes.. LOL
Author's Response: LOL! Men rarely listen to their wives, yet expect we have all the answers. Despite how evolved as humans we have become, some things will never change!!!

I like that he knows her so well, he fixed her drink. Look forward to more.
Author's Response: Thanks, Minx. Yes, he does know her well, probably better than she knows herself. More will be coming soon

Date: 05/22/2011 - 09:37 am Title: Chapter 11: Stubborness
Beautibul chapter as always. Please update as soon as ypu can. I will be waiting to read more.
Author's Response: thanks so much, amayuscula. I will be updating soon.

Date: 05/20/2011 - 01:32 pm Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
Buffy did a lot of thinking the day after / after waking up. :)
These two manage to hurt one another too easily, though.
But it seems that it isn't as easy as Buffy thought it would be to leave William, thanks to her car, huh?
Author's Response: When you love someone, you are vunerable to be hurt by them. I think that's why some people don't open themselves up to it. No, it's not going to be as easy as she thinks.

Date: 05/16/2011 - 07:37 am Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
I'm loving this story so much! It's so well-written and you capture their emotions really well.
Author's Response: *blush* thanks so much, Emily. I'm so glad you're enjoying, and I appreciate your review immensely.

Date: 05/16/2011 - 01:39 am Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
Aaagh...Buffy is frustrating the hella outta me. She totally pushed all of Will's buttons so he'd get angry and she'd feel better about leaving and then gets pissed at him when he does exactly that. :( They have to communicate, it seems they just go around in circles and nothing gets said.
Now let's see what happens when Will gets out to the car. Hopefully they will start to talk honestly.
Plz post more soon. Love it. :)
Author's Response: Yeah, she is pretty frustrating isn't she? I agree, they do go round and round and nothing gets said or done. More will be coming soon!

Date: 05/15/2011 - 11:45 pm Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
Well written, can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thanks, Minx. Your review means so much!

Date: 05/15/2011 - 09:13 pm Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
Oh, dear. My heart really goes out to them. Especially since I'm going through something similar. There's no hate involved, but we just don't know how to treat each other anymore. The dance has changed and we don't know the new steps. :(
Thanks for posting. I hope more comes soon.
Author's Response: IT, I would like to thank you for sharing something so personal. I understand completely. My hubby and I have been together for almost 20 years. Over the years we've changed. Some of these changes had complimented one another, others had not. Add to that RL: kids, work, bills...and, to the say the least, things had become complicated. There wasn't hate on our part either. We loved one another dearly, it was just that we both needed to accept we weren't the same people we were all those years ago. Eventually, we realized that was ok. Even though we are different, we can still love each other just as much as we had before. I love your analogy. In those few words, you've said so much!

Date: 05/15/2011 - 07:26 pm Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
These two need to sort out their problems not get a divorce! Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: TY, Photo! More will be coming soon!

Date: 05/15/2011 - 06:19 pm Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
I love how very bad they are at this. They want everything over just as badly as they seem to want it to go back to the way it was before. Maybe they will get their wish. She ain't gone yet! And they are both so very good at riling the other up. A true sign of a Spuffy couple. Love it. Update soon.
Author's Response: True, you can never go back, but it's hard to go forward. Sometimes, even though we hate where we are in life, we stay there because we are even more scared of changing. A devil you know... Thanks for reading, enjoying, and reviewing!

Date: 05/15/2011 - 04:47 pm Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
Buffy needs to take a class in communication.
Author's Response: She does, but don't we all sometimes?
Author's Response: Thanks for your review

Date: 05/15/2011 - 01:24 pm Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
Those two definitely need an intervention! They have so much to say to each other and they're not saying anything. The are really like the wheels on Buffy's car the night before, spinning around going nowhere, getting more stuck. I hope to see them really talking soon. I'm also so curious as to what happened to destroy their relationship. I'm guessing a loss of a baby? Happy to see an update and can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Exactly, on both points! The reason behind the breakdown of their relationship will be shown soon. Thanks for your insightful review and enjoyed of my story!

Date: 05/15/2011 - 12:22 pm Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
Sorry but... Buffy would drive me around the bend. The girl gets what she wants.. a screaming angry Spike telling her to get out... so she can "hate" him. And now she is pissed..
enjoyed.. you are making me cry... of course in a good way.. LOL
Author's Response: Here's a tissue Pam. Yeah, it's difficult to try to understand someone when they don't understand themselves. Buffy is confused, so in turn makes the situation more confusing and frustrating.

Date: 05/15/2011 - 11:59 am Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
Okay, now I'm really dying to know what happened in their relationship to separate them. It's obvious they still love each other. Their fighting is somewhat amusing. Their stubbornness and pride is something they both need to reign in to have a nice civilized discussion. Can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Thanks, Anna. I promise, all will be revealed soon. They do love one another, but unfortunately sometimes that's not always enough. More soon!

Date: 05/15/2011 - 11:22 am Title: Chapter 10: Uncertainty Fraught with Confusion
Loved this!! Those two are so much fun to read! More please :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much, IamGhost! I really enjoy writing the dialog between these two. More will be coming soon!
