oohhhhh, she's so in love with him and can't even realize it. I love it!

This is such a great fic! Thanks for the Spuffiness!!

I think my head just spun from all the emotional stuff floating around in that "talk". *wary grin*

Getting even better, I am so enjoying this story...I am so glad to see Spike seeing the error of his ways, and I understand Buffy having a hard time letting him in, but we know he will eventually win.........great job and thanks

Good talk. I liked getting insight into Buffy's feelings. I'm feeling very positive about Spike's current attitude. Great update!

there just might be a chance for him after all to find that man he seemed to hidden so long ago with all the crap in his life before........he's right he's going to have to prove to her he DOES love her in the "I'm in love with you" kinda way......and that she can trust him to be more hen a friend and not betray her the first chance he gets.....GREAT chapter.......of him starting on his road to finding Wiliam.......

Interesting chapter. I don't know how i feel about Buffy's statement. I mean, I like that she told him what is going on with her and i like that she told him that he hurt her.... but I don't like the fact that she lied to him. She is in love with him, I thought, and in more than a platonic way. Hmm.... jury's out on this one.

This does, however, mean that this chapter was incredibly wel written. You took the story to an amazing place here and I have to admit that I am really excited to see where this is going to go. Oh, and sorry about writing a book in response- it was just a really moving chapter.

I am very pleased with the way this all unfolded..Spike should definately have to work for this. That is going to be the only way that he can truly change the way that he is. I believe you CAN teach a old dog new tricks..it just takes a hell of a lot of work.. ; )

One thing stood out about Buffy though..something that she may eventually have to work on herself . She is very insecure, at least as far as Spike is concerned..

I think it was clear that she felt like anything that Spike feels for her is only transference of what he is going through. She seems to believe that a needy Spike is the only one that could be in love with her. .......Though in this instance I do believe she was in the right to keep from falling into a relationship with Spike..It could be a problem later on when Spike is truly ready for a REAL relationship. I guess we'll see.. I am so looking forward to seeing what happens with Sam and Alicia next!
Great chapter!! * of course!* : D

Man, I think I would be confused too! Good chapter! =)

Thanks for not having Buffy melt into his arms at his first declaration of love. You're right not to have her trust him right away. Working on himself for the sake of his daughter is much healthier than his usual pursuit of a woman, even if the woman is Buffy. I'm looking forward to Spike moving forward with Sam and Alicia and how that's going to fly with them.

Hmmm, this is complicated, ain't it?

I'm glad you're not giving Spike an easy way out of this mess he's gotten hiimself in.

I just wish Buffy could admit she loves him, she does doesn't she? I mean as a lover; even Willow gets that!

However, I can understand her denying it, it's so hard, once someone has proved that they're a 'dog' in man's clothing. Spike has his work cut out for him!

Good chapter and nice talk, even if it hurt a bit.
