Awe, pouty Spike :)
Enjoyed the spuffyness, it's good to see them so happy after all what Buffy went through. Not so good to hear that the story is coming to an end now.

Author's Response: LOL I love pouty Spike! Just makes you want to ruffle his hair or something. *winks* More happy moments to come in the next chapter, and also drama hopefully. Makes me all kinds of sad to be finishing it, but I do have a new idea in my head. Thanks for the lovely review, I really appreciate it!!! :D

Nice domestic scene ensuring that Buffy will feel safe, loved and protected before she ventures out to test her abilities and desire to punish those who tormented her. Having fallen, she needs to dust herself off and allow herself the dignity of knowing that she was not responsible for what happened to her and take back her respect and self worth. With Spike at her side, I hope that she recovers from her ordeal. Look forward to more.

Author's Response: You always sum it up so nicely I just want to hug you! The question is, was the final scene in the chapter just silence before the storm? *winks* They will be punished, all of them... I can tell you that; but at what cost? Spike is the only person she can completely rely on to be there for her, to love her no matter what. Who wouldn't want to have that, right? Thank you for the amazing review, Vette!!! :)
