I LOVE this...“If you gotta do this, then ok, go I won’t try to stop you. But you have to be doing it for you” she paused looking deeply into his eyes, “not for me”...OH yes yes yes...kiss the author. Loved Buffy's mad dash. The way that you had Buffy use Spike's soulful speech on him...was just brilliant. You gave my heart a twist a couple of times in this chapter. Spike breaks my heart when he comes over all vunerable. You have found a soft side to Faith. Lovely lovely chapter...so worth the pain & the wait to get here.
