Wow, emotional chapter!

Spike's story is so heart-breaking, especially as Buffy refused to listen to him and was easily able to believe the worst of him (though, of course, it would be incredibly easy to be hurt by the scene that Buffy witnessed, and drawing the wrong conclusions was inevitable- she was just protecting herself from further hurt by refusing to listen to him).

So glad that all of it is now out in the open- and that hug at the end was just so perfect (I got the tinglies!! Tee hee!) I'm so glad that you put that bit in- showing the walls crumbling down so easily.

I wonder how their relationship will be pieced back together from here. It could still go bad I guess- which would be terrible after everything they've been through!

Can't wait for more! Bye Bye Jake and Melanie!

Author's Response: I'm still not that happy with the beginning of this chapter. Think I copped out with all those paragraphs of exposition from Spike. Felt like I was just getting out of the way to ge to the Dru scene (which uh...I was). Maybe I'll go back and rewrite it properly sometime, but for now I thought people would just want to know what happened so I posted it anyway.

Glad no one is unhappy with the explanation and events so far, though. That's a relief. Kinda wrote myself into a corner and I had the devil of a time trying to figure out how to get him to shower and how to explain how Dru managed the timing so well. Hope it all held together.

Everything's not perfect yet, for them but it's better, thus the hug.

Yes, bye bye. Wonder who got the worse blow-off, Melanie or Jake? I think Jake because he was looking for a relationship. Oh well, he'll live :) Until Chapter 12! Muhahahaha...just kidding.

I think you really shouldn't worry so much about what we, the readers, want to happen. If there's something I really really really want to happen, I'll write my own fic. I think the style, structure etc. are things you can edit this way or that to make the story more readable, but the events are your ideas, your decisions, not ours. Maybe I'm old fashioned... I've liked your story so far, so just keep writing! Don't worry too much! :)

Author's Response: haha. If you only knew how many times I've been told "Don't worry too much" in the course of my life. It's a recurring comment! LOL.
Thanks! I haven't changed anything from how I originally planned it. It was just a tough couple chapters after the initial Spike/Melanie thing. I was just surprised people were so very mad even though I put it in the warning and that some stopped reading. I can read almost anything if they end up together in the end. Even stuff where they don't if it's well written, but I don't enjoy that as much. Of course I knew why he did it and they didn't so that's understandable.
I'm glad you like the story. Thanks for writing such an encouraging review! I'm a bit stuck at the moment on the next chapter, but I hope to write a little tonight and I have tomorrow off, so that'll give me some time.

Yay! More storey! :) Thanks a bunch for updating! I am soooooo glad they've finally begun listening to each other; that trust thing tends to be rather important in relationships...

And of course, I understand the need to sleep. Without sleep the muse cannot function... or it just goes really crazy... :)*

Author's Response: Thanks for reading it! Yes, Buffy was a little too broken up to argue much more than halfheartedly and Dawn got Spike to force her to talk to him finally. Yes, the muse needs to sleep and to earn money, sadly. Darn work! Thank you for reviewing, it makes my day!

Glad that Buffy heared Spike's side. She should have done it before it would save time. Hope they will continue to be on good terms now. No more misunderstandings along the way.

Author's Response: Well, they resolved the Dru part, anyway. Thank you for taking the time to review!
