I have been waiting for this reunion (like everyone else) for what feels like an eternity ... so I'm reading along HAPPY AS A CLAM 'cause I know that Addie can write those steamy romance scenes like no one else ... TOTALLY NOT EXPECTING EVE OF ALL THINGS. I'm such a sucker for romance and I've been waiting for this moment (Addie's incredible Spuffy lovin') since like chapter 12 ... so I really got caught off guard here. How did every one else know???

I actually had it all planned out in my mind ... Spike was going to do a media blitz announcing his and Buffy's relationship as a preemptive move to whatever any ill minded people ( i.e. Eve) could do to hurt them. So I thought this night was going smoothly .... wrong. Drat !!

Great scene in the dance club. Thank God Buffy is becoming uninhibited. I hope they both stand up and fight for each other and for their relationship ... they deserve to be happy after all I've been through (OOPS, I mean after all they've been through) hee hee

spike in leather pants!!!! oh dear gods woman, what are you trying to do to us poor souls....LOL

loved the sister bonding....Dawn is so funny and with it...i love your Dawn.

great date so far...can't wait to see what happens next

I KNEW Eve was going to be there! Nasty wench.

Not mean. Brilliant!! I had a feeling it wasn't going to go straight to the bedroom. That would have been too easy! Eve sounds like trouble. But i think she is underestimating our lovers - or perhaps overestimating her own evilness. I think you'll get them through it - whatever it is. But the tension is thick!! I love it.

Ahhh the questions...what will EVe do? What can she do? Will she unlock the secret of them being step-siblings? Better yet...who will take her down? and how?? Surprised me with her being there......Can't wait for Friday. I do hope someone sticks it to her good (and not a good stick it to her) and thanks

Guh! Eve is like a cold bucket of water. Die evil wench! I do fear for our twosome though.There really is a lot of stuff that could be used against them because not only are Spike and Buffy stepsiblings but Spike's an exjunkie and Buffy had an attempted suicide, was institutionalized, and is an acquaintance of a known murderer (Faith). The tabloids will have a field day. They will have an uphill battle but this time I think they will make it. Now get on with the hot lovin'.

PS I love how Buffy went commando knowing the effect it would have on Spike..

All I can say is...yay! I love this chapter :D

Took them 3 years to finally share ALL the feeling they have for each other and still there are new revelations around every turn. Wonderful Chap. I think the whole date idea was perfect. more please.

LOVE IT!!!!! What a sweet moment! Can't wait for tomorrow's update!

that was so good. very emotional.

I took a look this morning; what a nice way to start the day but I hurried to be able to read today.. well almost :)
LOL So Spike is watching the clock. *gg* Cute, seeing him nervous too because he knows he'll be on a date with Buffy. So to say for the first time.. sad to see he has doubts now that it will function. Too much fearing to get hurt and too good to know himself that dating won't work. And yet good to see that Spike thinks the only way that he could stay away from Buffy was because she didn't want him back yet. But now she wants :) And oh boy, is Buffy nervous now. Loved the sisterly bonding. ~ Ah the tongue curl :) Good to see how smitten they are because how the other looks like. *I cross my fingers all will get well* ~ And a good choice for a restaurant; one where he did only Dawn bring before. I'm happy Spike sees Buffy in a new light now. And that he thinks now that they can truly make it work. Change of mind, huh? That's good. ~ Loved to read the update. :)

Glad Spike realized he wasn't the only one hurt by their break up. Great chapter!
