I love this story and always look forward to seeing an update. Today was no exception, and I happily read the new chapter......now I'm worried. Worried about Buffy's lagging strength; if it's mystical in origin or physiological or if someone (an enemy) is drugging her............And on the emotional front, my heart ( a very mushy organ) is breaking for her. As always, she has no self-confidence in herself in this area. To see her losing her faith in her relationship with Spike is so sad. That knowledge, of his love for her, no matter what ,has always given her strength in the past......................mean, Aamah, mean ::)). If this was a paperback novel I'd have all the pages bent back and ratty by now from all the going back and forth to all my favourite parts . It's a wonderful story and has everything a good read needs to keep the reader an emotional wreck and on the edge of their seat, until we get to the conclusion ;which I hope is happy ( see previous notation about mushy heart organ).....you wouldn't want to be responsible for damaged heart organs now would you??? (insert grin here) .....Really, it's so good I eagerly await the next installment........................................Kathryn

Author's Response: Dear Ms. Mushy Heart, (Kathryn) I have no intentions of causing you heart failure, rest assured. Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I means so much when folks talk about how the story affects them. See, the thing is...things almost always get worse before they get better, don' they? More coming as soon as I can find a new beta. Myfeetshowit (Sandra) is overwhelmed and stepped away.

yay, a new chapter. This is one of my favorite spuffy stories.

I'm sad for spike and buffy. please make it better.

Author's Response: Apologies for taking so long. Real Life got in the way. It's slowed down for a minute and that's what gave me the time. Thank you so much for your kind comment.
