Wow. I mean- wow. Your ability to portray this kind of character development is impressive, and the progression is realistic. I like that you don't make Spike magically better when he falls for Buffy, and that you've given Buffy enough perspective and self-confidence to stick with a man this badly damaged without losing her sense of self. I love your portrayal of the tenderness between the two of them, especially the fact that you're blunt about the fears someone who's been sexually abused would have of physical and emotional intimacy. Your flashes of the abuse Spike endured are both heartbreaking and sickening, and it takes talent to portray it graphically enough to give it the impact of a bludgeon without once seeming prurient or unsympathetic. Very, very well written. I look forward to seeing Spike face his demon and defeat him.

I'm guessing Xander and Willow, you are an evil person with these cliff hangers. I'm glad Spike punched Ethan, I'm sure he'll be able to do a lot more damage once he finds out about Buffy. More please!
Author's Response: Absolutely, I'll write and update as soon as I can. :) Thanks for your review!

Hi Pet-sorry about the lack of reviews the past couple of chapters. Real life got crazy. I'm all caught up now and you're definitely not losing this reader!!!
Thanks for the great story.
Author's Response: Don't worry about it, I'm just really happy to hear from you now. Thanks! :)

You have really short chapters; is it that you can end them with a cliffhanger ;))
Well it IS a cliffhanger again :) Hopefully that will be Xander with or without Willow, knowing from Willow where Buffy went to.
Glad for Spike to stand up against Ethan; I hope he'll still do that when Ethan isn't so surprised like he was now.
Author's Response: Well, I like ending with a cliffie. *lol* Thanks for reviewing!
