You called this chapter 'One' again but it's good to see it's a new one :-D
I hope you'll post more. *skips earlier chapters* Now I remember.
I've read your A/N. I'm sorry to hear that you're ill and lost someone dear. I lost someone in December too so I can guess how you feel. I hope you'll be able to update again but I'm patient. *hugs*

Interesting that Spike looks now silver to Buffy, just like the color of her eyes. I don't know if Spike heard the call but it's a good thought that this was the reason he came.
But the meeting went well; Buffy is indeed not a normal fledgling.
I really hope you can manage to most more in time; it's a good story so far :)
Take care.
