Oh no... poor William, poor Buffy. *sniffles* Can't they just tell each other how they feel?

Holy crap; they don't know anything but fighting! Help!

I love this story. Buffy was reacting the way anyone with a broken heart would. And William making comments like 'you can come to the party if you want' wasn't helping the situation any. I also feel for William. Here's someone who isn't used to expressing what they feel, and when they try, it comes out all wrong. Can't wait to see what happens next.

cant wait to see what happens next!!!

I love this story. I recently watched Jane Eyre (the Timothy Dalton version) and Spike in this story reminds me of him. Except for the locked-up wife of course. Or maybe....*lol*

Awesome chapter! I love how they fight with one another. It doesn't seem forced. You guys have really captured the passion between them.
And although Buffy is *almost* at the point of being unreasonable - she does have some valid points. I'm afraid William may do something stupid to deal with his anger and hurt...maybe at the party? I dunno. Maybe he'll forget the party and try to make-up with Buffy. I'm just so excited about this story. I can't wait to see what happens next.
I *so* adore this fic.

she's being an idiot, big shock there. everything is always about her, well, cry me a river. i'm not too happy with william right now either, he should have tried harder to get through to the blockhead. i hope they both realize how stupid they're being soon.

Dumb Buffy! I wish she would just for once give William the benfit of the doubt. I hope she does some groveling in the next few chapters.

I can sympathize with Buffy to a point. But she likes to forget that his life also changed dramatically after Angel and Dru's death, and while she has to adapt to a new way of life, he has to adapt to new feelings and wants developing in him...I still don't quite understand her reasons for flying completely off the handle, but she sounds like she's trying to find reasons for not having any sort of relationship with William. She says she wants to be loved by him, but she hasn't shown it to him at all...its not all about him showing his feelings, she has to step up to the plate at some point.

I'm really tryin to refrain from calling Buffy an out right bitch in this chapter, because they are both still under a tremendous amount of stress with the death of their loved ones and having to raise a child, then to add whatever feelings they are developing for each other...but she really was unfair to Will in this chapter, he was trying to do what she has hoped he would do, talk and explain his feelings, and she just inserted her own words in his mouth...for reasons that have no real basis...I could go on and on, but I really can't wait to see how you guys work this out. :)

I know everyone else was mad about this chapter but, I can't hate Buffy. I was put in her position, minus the child and dead siblings. I liked a guy who only wanted the sex, and for me to be there but didn't want a relationship. It hurts and from that hurt comes the anger. You start think that everything he tells you is for the soulpurpose to get youn into bed, so I wouldn't have let him speak either. He needed to tell her before now. She feels outta plsce in a whole new contry and is unsure about her whole life around her. He's just going to have to be more ......verbal if he wants to let her know that he does feel something. In this situation he's not going to be able to show her by making love her her, it will still feel like sexthat is taken out of convienace, or to take her to a party, that would feel like he's pretty much saying she's there she can go and look good on my arm. I'm really rooting for him to get his ass back there and to fix this.

WOW - such emotion, great chapter, I can feel the sparks coming off the page

SO not funny leaving me like this! More soon PLEASE!

Faith is right: How is she supposed to know these things if you don't tell her? *sigh* They are fighting again. If William is clever he won't go at all to the dinner and try to talk to Buffy instead. Buffy is hurt and lashing out indeed. I'm not sure William knows why she is doing it. ~ Looking forward to the next part; hopefully it will get better again then. William talked to Faith and told her what Buffy means to him. It would be time he tells her.
