Awe again - Spike made a garden for Buffy :) (Second story I've read and remember where Spike did this but the other one is different, it's about the garden.)
Heh Dawn's visit was surprising (in the sense that she is already here). Hopefully the young man who's with her won't do something silly seeing a vampire hunting Buffy.

Author's Response: I've read that story before. I'll have to check it out.
