Best moment for me was

“She’s over a thousand years old!” she persisted, focusing her gaze on him now, as well as Anya. “Spike isn’t even a hundred and fifty. You do the math and tell me whose tally of victims runs higher, and then you tell me why Anya is allowed to sit at that table with everyone else while Spike is considered so disgusting people are paying me to stay away from him!”

Take that Scoobys!!!

Author's Response: lol. It was about time someone said it, wasn't it? That was one of the biggest pet peeves I had on the show, especially since Xander was the most outspoken Spike hater and he was also the one dating the ex-demon. Thanks for the review. :-D

Opening was just hot and I loved the face off with Giles!

More please!

Author's Response: I'm happy you liked the opening. That was my favorite part as well. Thanks for the review. :-D

Loved it.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you did. :-D

If he could have, he would have nestled into the soft bed of her temporal lobe or been held by the pulsing muscles of her right atrium. He would have become so deeply embedded that she couldn’t ignore him or run away; he would have been part of her..........Achingly beautiful! I had tears in my eyes at this! *applauds*

But this: “So, this is it,” he said slowly, his eyes narrowing behind the glasses he then removed to clean with a ferociousness directed at her. “You choose Spike—a vampire, an unrepentant killer—over your calling and your own wellbeing.”

“Yes,” she said simply. “I do.” ..........really had me bouncing on my chair!!! (and I'm in the office; people around are staring but I don't really care!!!)

However the ending sent a chill down my spine! After she has trusted him and stood up for him how can he - even by mistake - not do the right thing? It might be the only thing that can tear them apart at this point and it is such a shame!

I can only hope for the best (but after the perfection that has been the last few chapters I refuse to prepare for the worst!)

Wonderful, marvelous, brilliant update!

Thank you :-D

*hugs*

Author's Response: You picked out my favorite bit of text from the chapter. I was hoping that bit didn't seem to wordy, but I just had to include it because I thought it fit Spike so well. He's so hungry for love and so greedy with it. Maybe I'm weird, but I think the obsessiveness is sexy. Not in real life, I'm sure. That would become tiresome. But with Spike in fantasy...yeah, I like it. Thanks so much for the review. :-D ((hugs))

GO BUFFY!! GO BUFFY!! tell them what they deserved!!
and finally spike and buffy are arriving at an understanding in their relation, she`s accepting everything of him, and he`s beginning to realize which she hopes of him and this way this accepting to him self, I hope that this has an effect in his self-esteem
but, always it has but, as I said before:
I hope that he does not make something really stupid to help her, something that she is going to blame him for it
and also I hope that the scubbies do not do something to harm the relation between spike and buffy, but suppose that this is much to request
I suppose that always must have anguish and drama, so that histories are interesting...

I hope this isn't as bad at the whole egg doctor thing

And with the good comes the bad.. for Buffy.. but maybe not the best decision.

Nice comparison ... Spike vs. Anya.. its time for Buffy to stand up their control. But now for the problem with Spike's new job..
