The feeling is mutual...each new chapter makes me love your story more & more. The story just keeps getting better & better...& it started off pretty damn good. You drew me in with that almost kiss between Spike & Buffy. You played it just perfectly...I felt Spike's rejection of Buffy as if it were my own. This is a bit of poetic justice for Buffy because of their past. I am just glad that she is aware of it..."his talented hands drawing patterns on her bare skin, she had been his canvas back then and his muse. She ached with regret as the memory played out "...must mention what beautiful lines are in this scene...I ache with her. Things seem so hard for her now...this rejection from Spike thing, the turning out to may not be as nice as she thought Richard thing, the baby eating incestuous evil big bad thing, & the can't help it jealously of Dawn thing. You are just breaking heart but good...I love it. The sweetly simple scene with Xander was much needed after all of the conflicting emotions between Buffy & Spike. Do I need to tell you how eager I am for the next chapter? Oh...I am...I am...

Aargh! Write faster. I have always been a souless Spike fan. Bad boys are more fun! But soulful Spike is good too (Who am I kidding? Anyway I can get Spike I will take it!) Anyway I am loving the story, and can't wait for some Spuffy Luvin'!
