What will Buffy do with her night of freedom?

So damn excited to see more of this one. Was even thinking about it like last week... Power of positive thinking. Hope Buffy does something crazy and that Dawn doesn't. Or that if Dawn does, it pisses Buffy off only after she gets to take some emotional support from Spike. Need each other, they do. Hope the next chapter flows for you, it was so great to have this one. :) Update soon.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm glad to know you're still reading!

What a nice surprise.
Oh, Dawn.. can't help but feel she has left out a few details.. leaving both Buffy and Willow in the dark.
Buffy befuddles me..always fighting her feelings and settling for the lesser.. hopefully her night will end well ..with Spike.
I think I remember something from Dawn early in the story about a Prince and a writer maybe. A little too close for home for Spike with the poet dig.
Will be going back to reread.
Enjoyed.. written beautifully as usual.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading and reviewing. Yeah, Dawn's nothing but trouble... hopefully she'll let the grown-ups have some grown-up time before that becomes evident. :)

Welcome back, Science! I understand fully RL dragging you under and not letting you go. I hope all is going well with you new (or not so new) job.



Now for the chapter. Really enjoyed how this chapter parallels canon, but still stands strongly on it's own and flows beautifully with the preceeding chapters. I hope now you scaled the mountain of posting again after a long hiatus, your muse will keep going.

Author's Response: Thanks so much, BBE! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. I do have the next one nearly finished, so hopefully there won't be another year-long gap between posting.
