Thank you for your words of comfort on the tag.

That being said, I felt a sense of hope in this chapter and boy did I need that?

The story is taking a nice direction here: Spike and Buffy getting closer and everyone trying to help out. It's a good feeling to know you have so many folks on your side.

Thanks again,
spuf

Author's Response: Aww.... sweetie, you are more than welcome and I hope the camping trip did you good. *sends hugs and good thoughts* I'm glad you saw what I was trying for- the sense of hope, cause there is one- in this fic (and in my life.) This next chapter has more of the same with the hint of hope but it's dark too cause she tells him about the things Riley's done to her. Hope you feel better sweetie. Take care, Scarlet

I hope they get Riley away from Buffy! He must be a demon or something! Update soon please!

Author's Response: Ohh... he's something alright. *laughs* You'll find out more as you go... the next part is now up. Enjoy. Scarlet

There will be absolutely no killage of the author cause then I'll never get the end of the tale. Love this so much (especially now that all the "supernatural" stuff is coming out). Can't wait to hear all that Buffy and Spike have to say to each other about Riley and other things. more please.

Author's Response: LOL thanks, as the author I appreacate that. :P The next chapter was just posted early this week and Buffy tells Spike what she knows about Riley. Hope you enjoy! Scarlet
