Wow! Spike thinks he can jump through the window and pick up where they left off? He really left her when she needed him the most. Reminding her of that time in her life did not make for warm and fuzzy feelings. Really, if he wanted her to take notice of how he is a changed man, he should have not attempted to resume sneaking into her home for a love liason. He could have forced her to open the door by serenading her to the point she had to think of her neighbors and admit him inside her home to get his shot at her. One bad decision after another, Spike is proving that no matter how much time has past, he is still the not any wiser. As a familiar saying goes - roughly remembered..."sometimes it is better to love someone who is good for us than to love someone who is not". Spike needs to make himself into that kind of man for Buffy. She has been hurt enough. Anyhow, glad that Buffy is sticking to her guns and is not making it easy for Spike to prove his love. That needs to be earned and not takened. Look forward to more.

Oh Spike...always the impulsive one. :) Very hot kissage, but Buffy feels so guilty for kisisng him back, and Spike didn't make it better by not talking to her. Poor Buffy, now we know why she stayed in SunnyD. :(
If Spike wants to make it work, he better start explaining himself, cause Buffy isn't just gonna leave Angel cause he says he wants her. Oh man Angst is a comin' now.

One question...how long has Spike been in Sunnydale, that he didn't know Buffy was there too?

Loving this story, can't wait for more. :)

Author's Response: Hmm, well, since Spike has known Angel for about two years, I would say that's how long he's been in Sunnydale. I think I mention it in the story later on. It's been so long since I've written these chapters, I tend to forget what I wrote...lol!

Loved the chapter, hopefully everything works out with Angel/Buffy/Spike.

Please update as soon as you can.

my heart is breaking for both of them, but i still have hope that they'll find their way back to each other.
