Anne is very much Victorian. What she thinks is old-fashioned but not for her, for her it is the right behavior. If William only knew what Buffy was really hunting and what she wants to prevent.. It's hard for William to find a balance between the way he thinks because he was raised in Victorian times and his wish to let Buffy be herself.

Author's Response: You're certainly right about that. William loves Buffy for who she is, but he has a hard time reconciling that with his training of what a woman should be. Thanks for reading. :)

First off I love this fic and secondly Ann is just a woman of her time and means well. It' is neat to see Will and Eliza feelings and romance unfold. A+++++
I'm sort of bad but I'm dying to see when Will is turned and how you have all of that happen.

Author's Response: Thanks for the positive grade. :) You're right, Anne meant no harm; that is just the way things were done back then. And you're not bad, just a Spike fan. It's natural. ;)

I went looking for romantic stories for Valentines day Spike/Buffy thoughts and this story is the best romantic story I have read on this ship in a long time. It is so well written you feel your there in the setting and about to pour some tea. I say look no further then here for a love story this has it all. Thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review. I'm glad you like the story. :)

Breath taking and beautifully written I hope to see more of this it is really a great story and touches the heart.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you feel that way. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. :)

So good I hhad to read it twice.
More when you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Author's Response: Thank you. I will. :)

He was so worried and to now find she was attacked and how relieved he was to find she was not harmed. I think with them both living through this shake-up he will see how connected on a soulful level they really are. This is my favorite romantic story on the board.



Author's Response: Thank you so much, Tears of the Moon. It means a lot to me that you feel that way. :)

The charged eroticism between them is getting even stronger, and the danger of Angelus and Drusilla lurking on the fringes of their romance is keeping me on the edge of my seat.

Author's Response: The tempation is definitely getting to William. And you're right to think that Angelus is going to make another appearance. I won't say when or how, but he will definitely show up again. Thanks as always for reading and reviewing.:)

Awwwwwww
He's sort of replaying his eye even with Buffy in his head into his fantasy. I cannot help it I think he is so sweet. I really liked in this chapter you see how even though shes still making mistakes Elizabeth is really trying and you see William now is the one having the problem of holding himself back.

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thank you so much for taking the time to offer feedback. :)

I give this story a 10 it has it all and then some. I'm almost wishing she get pulled back now just to see Spike when he sees her .

Author's Response: Thank you so much, JollyJack. I'm glad you like the story. :)

Does William see that Elizabeth had the same intense worry and fear he had for her and had to get back as soon as possible to see she was safe. I hope so for then he would truly understand why she put herself at risk for him. Sweet little love birds!

Author's Response: Oh, I'm sure he has some idea of it, Janice. That was why he was so entranced with her story. How he feels about it is another matter, however. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I'm glad you like the story. :)

Got a chance to get caught up today and just love what is going on with the struggle for love and the struggle to make it all work out. I also think it says alot about Will that in his day dreams of her there is a over whleming side of innocence in his feeling for her. I mean if a guys only sexy thought was of having his girl touching him to see if he was ok and no being able to resist her lol I say that's pretty tame to what Spikes would be lol!
Love your work its always such a joy to read and I thank you for making me smile as I read this


Author's Response: Very true. His lack of experience means that even the smallest of caresses has a good deal of significance for him. Poor boy is so confused right now; his natural reaction is to seek her out, but his moral teachings tell him not to. We'll just have to wait and see which wins in the end. I'm so glad you got caught up and are still enjoying the story. Thanks for the review. :)

Will William ask for Elizabeths hand? Or will he wait and see if she can improve herself to live in his world?
This page has me wondering if Ann will speak to Elizabeth about if* she were a lady of the house and how to prepare for it . With Anns failing health I can see she would want her son settled before she passed on.

I was so happy to see you had a chance to write again as you are my fav writer now.

Author's Response: Thank you so much, Aurorah. You have no idea how much it means to me to have you say that. :)
