it still kinda feels like her decision came out of nowhere but there were little hints that something was wrong. awesome chapter though. very emotional. can't wait to read more.


Author's Response: her decision was coming, she just didn't let it be known because she was enjoying her time with Spike and now dealing with the trial that was coming.

HUH?????did i miss something where did that come from???? just like buffy to overthink things...but it did come kinda outta no where she all of a sudden has these thoughts if something had happened i could see it but this was just out of left field (so to speak lol)......but its totally buffy always going with her HEAD instead of her heart and trying to work things out......i will trust i guess but its hard lol.....



Author's Response: This is true that Buffy lets her emotions and uncertainties rule her mind. I did have hints throughout the story about her doubts with their relationship since the beginning. I did add a few sentences in All Hallows Eve.....hopefully this will bring it together

okay, what the hell? i get angst and drama, but i feel like you're just forcing it right now, that you want to cause trouble for them when there really isn't any. this makes no sense to me, buffy's feelings came out of nowhere, there was nothing before that showed she wanted to break up. things were fine between them, and all of a sudden, they're not, sorry, i don't buy that. i think she's being really ridiculous right now. that's a stupid reason to break up with someone, especially if you love them.

Author's Response: Hi....I wasn't trying to force this. I had laid some hints throughout the story...once during first date when Buffy told Spike that she didn't want to discuss the law at all....knowing that it would start a fight. In All Hallows eve, when she looked upon Spike as he stood on the stairs with Darla, she asked herself if they would survive. Maybe these were subtle hints. I did add a few sentences to All Hallows Eve, hopefully that will make this flow better

I think buffy's reasoning is wrong. She is being self righteous as usual and not being honest with herself. No one likes Defense attorneys until they need one. A lawyer's job is to make sure a person's constitutional rights are protected. The Prosecutor (D.A.) is representing the State and not the victim. They have the same responsibility to uphold the constitution. A Defense attorney's motives are just as pure, even though most people don't understand that. I am a Defense attorney and I believe that my work is important, otherwise we should just return to a Star Chamber.

Author's Response: I completely agree. Numerous members of society think that defense attorneys are shade etc. which is not true. One that is doing their job should not be equated with those that they work with. Unfortuanally most people don't think that way. I had to look up what a Star Chamber was, but I agree if there wasn't two sides of the law, those that have the power and money would completely rule the world
