Brilliant, Baby ! I love how your work runs deep - you always deal with the heart of the matter & the real feelings of your characters. It makes your work immensely satisfying to read. I can't wait to see you published ;)
Loved the Oscar quote by the way - perfect.

I love how Lorne makes Buffy see things different and really 'see' things. ~ Loved the chapter :)

I love Lorne! He made so much sense...and, somehow, he managed to get that sense to sink into Buffy's thick skull. Also, loved the last chapter....glad they're starting over as friends. Gives them a firm foundation to rebuild on. Feel much better about these last two chapters than I have in a long time. Looking forward to more happiness (hopefully) soon.

You have been a busy, busy little writer! Thanks for updating this one. I loved that she basically declares Spike is the only one she could always count on, and she under it so deep she doesn't realize that that is what love is. Lorne, always so good at ready people, know when it might be too much info, so in order to avoid Buffy brain-explody, decides to wait. I've heard it referred to as progressive enlightenment. At any rate, I'm hoping she's willing to learn to feel her real feelings and just think about how things look or seem. At this point, she needs to acknowledge and move on with his little lie-- No matter what the outcome for her relationship with him, if for no other reason than to rid herself of the cancer that is hate, anger, distrust, and holding a grudge. I really like how you hit the nail on the head, though-- It is so much easier to be angry than to be hurt. Great update.
Author's Response: You caught that did you, what Lorne was trying to tell her and what she was essentially saying, but not getting it? LOL. She's progressing at a nice pace, I think. Touching on things I think we all go through at some point in life :) Thank you hon, for your review :)

It would be interesting to hear what Buffy would say in a word association session. She's coming along, but she's still in the dark about so much. Lorne is so trying to get her to see the path, but short of holding her hand and walking her down it. Great update. Now, how's that my friend was on a date and now I have to be all friendly and ask him about it going to go? more please.
Author's Response: Oh that part should be interesting lol

Author's Response: Thank you! :) I try to draw on things we all experience at one time or another whether directly or indirectly.

I'm liking Lorne now, however, I am afraid that Spike might move on and Buffy might not like it?
Oh well, we'll see!
spuf
Author's Response: oh she most likely won't. lol

Lorne is so smart...and she's definitely been expecting everybody in the world to be Angel and her mother. And she held Spike to unrealistic perfectionist standards, too.
Author's Response: Yep, and she never realized it until she started her therapy :)
