interesting story so far. but does spike have to be the rug under any woman's feet? first dru and now buffy. hell, the guy's a true masochist and don't tell me it's love. it's not. love does not make people into slaves. spike is just very weak-willed. i think he needs professional help. buffy's not gonna help him at this point, she's not really nice and for my part i don't understand how an independent woman can like a man that's not really even a person? i hope you'll make spike into a man before the story ends. right now he's really pathetic.

"Buffy had regained her ability to think. Shit!" - Too funny. Have to fear a thinking Buffy.

Awwww, poor Spike.

Stumbled upon this the other day and I love it. Course, what's not to love, when you get rid of Dru in the first couple chaps that's always a bonus in my book (oh, I know, she'll probably pop up later on to wreck havoc just when things progress with Buffy and Spike, she always does). More please. Excellent tale.

Uh-huh.. Buffy was able to think again? That doesn't indeed bode well for Spike... and the talk. I can understand that Buffy thinks Spike needs time (he's still married and she is not sure he's over Dru yet). I wonder how they'll manage it to make it (going on as if nothing has happened?). Looking forward to read.

Poor Spike--Buffy's insecurities getting in the way of their happiness...grr...ah well, I have faith (especially since you said the tour is coming up!)

cant wait to see what happens next!!!!! :D

Good update. Can't wait to read more!

nice chapter,as usual ;) looking forward to more!

"Yeah, she was starting to piss herself off, so she kind of knew where he was coming from."

Love it! Some great lines and a wonderful "Take Charge Spike".

I can't wait for the confined spaces....
