Wheww - even tho Joyce hasn't made up her mind about Spike, it's good to see she isn't freaked out by it. And how cute was S&B's conversation over the 'moving in' and 'boyfriend' deal? I liked Spike's 'take' on it - not trying to label things but just going with it. Hmmmm, blindfolded fun and training - sounds like a good mix to me - *grins*. The chappy was FAB, boo!!! Sorry I couldn't review `til now - was out of town for the thanksgiving week to see my family. Can't wait for the next update. Hugs.

Author's Response: Yeah, I think Joyce will come around. But the poor woman needs some time, LOL. Glad you liked Buffy's little freak out over whether she was moving in or not. And who wouldn't enjoy a little blindfolded fun with Spike? (Though that bit might not come until later.) So glad you enjoyed the chapter, and thanks for reviewing!

Awe I could start quoting but I'm so late reading :)
Loved the mother/daughter talk (and Buffy trying to make Spike look good).
So sweet (thoughtful) to get a new comforter.
And it really doesn't matter how they call it as far as they are happy, being together.
Enjoyed the new update.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the talk with Joyce. Buffy has to try and make her boyfriend look good, LOL. And Spike can be sweet sometimes, can't he? Thanks for reviewing!

Poor Joyce, her daughter's life is incredibly complicated and by the time she wraps her mind around one extraordinary thing, another steps up to take its place. It must be exhausting.

I loved Buffy getting completely spun about moving in. it was so girly and cute. This gave me a big smile: She paused for a moment. “Even saying boyfriend sounds weird.” She tested it again. “‘Boyfriend. My boyfriend.’ I don’t think I like it.”

“Why not?”

“Because you’re so much more than that.” These two are in so deep, the moving in part doesn't seem like something to wig out about at all.

Author's Response: Yes, Joyce just gets over one piece of news and there's another waiting for her. Such is being the Slayer's mother, LOL. I'm glad you liked Buffy getting freaked out about whether she was moving in or not. I think that happens a lot in real life, no matter how deep a couple is, deciding certain things can still seem like a big step. Thanks for reviewing!

I'm glad Joyce was ok with Spike being a vamp. Great update!

Author's Response: Yeah, she'll be fine. She just needs some time to adjust. Thanks for reviewing!

So glad that Joyce's reaction was a good one and loved how their relationship is progressing. Could really picture the mock biting at the end which I thought was hot. So pleased that you updated.

Author's Response: Yeah, Joyce wasn't going to freak out too much. Glad you liked the mock bitey! Thanks for reviewing!

Oh, I am so happy to see more! I love the looks we're getting at Buffy and Spike as a couple, and I'm really looking forward to how Giles is going to react when he finds out about Spike. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Yes, it's time for couple Spuffy! It's about time they got together. :) Glad you liked, and thanks for reviewing!

Loved it! Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing!
