i kinda had a feeling something like this was about to happen; after all, what's the name of the fic again?

seriously tho - he's been smart, if not completely honest. and buffy ... as much as it hurts now, hopefully they can make peace with it. but gotta feeling spike won't be admitting how much he does really care for her - there's a lot of 'drama' in his life, and it's gonna get a lot rockier before it gets better. but here's the big question : will buffy be able to truly move on? and i'm very curious to the levels of anger and hurt in the whole will/xander friendship - gotta wonder if spike really misunderstands xander's thoughts/feelings. looking forward to more!

Author's Response: There are definitely a lot of complicated things happening and Buffy and Will have some things to work through. More soon, thanks for reviewing!

I think Will is using going across the country as an excuse, just not the one Buffy is thinking of. Will does not want her breaking his heart, so he is using the excuse not to start anything.

Author's Response: His feelings are definitely complicated and the two of the have some stuff to work through! Thanks for the review!

Sometimes in life in your heart you know the answer you're going to get but you still wholeheartedly wish that you can be proven wrong. That has happened to me WAY too many times, and it can be heart breaking. Poor Buffy! And Poor Spike too, because he might be losing another best friend! I can imagine he'll get really lonely now.

Author's Response: Definitely heartbreaking for both of them. They have some stuff to work through. Thanks for reviewing!

Oh, I could imagine that would hurt. I'm happy that Will got the opportunity at Pratt's Institute. Poor Buffy.
Are we going to be jumping into the future?
thanx for the update.

Author's Response: Not jumping quite yet...but eventually. They have some stuff to get through first. Thanks for reviewing!

I remember sitting on a bench at 18 with a man i'd been involved with for a few months who was leaving, just half way across the country. We had to decide whether or not we should try to make it work. We've been married 10 years.

Author's Response: That is wonderful! I actually have Willow telling Buffy something similar in the next chapter. They have a lot to work out...thanks for the review!
