I'm so glad they had a great day together and Buffy was actually enjoying it! It's so damn cute!

Author's Response: Planning their dates was a blast, I'll be honest :)

Wow! Those are some sexy suits. Can't imagine the tan lines. Yeesh!

Thanks for the great wooing update! Cheek-y William is damn hot. Playing footsie in the water - even better. Quite a devilish streak our little Victorian has. Asking permission for a kiss after he's almost gone and done is anyway!!! **exaggerated eyebrow wag**

By the way, I love the way you write Miss Edith and Dru. We all know that Dru is bat shit crazy, but when you watch her on the show, sometimes she's so "with it" ya' know? She understands what's going on and responds, cryptically, but rather coherently (off the top of my head, her conversation with Spike in "Crush"). Spike's intelligent and would have to be with someone who could at least follow along some of the time, or least speak in a way that he could learn to understand. So anyway, to make a really long tangent, longer... I guess what I'm trying to say is that I like how you have Dru communicating with Miss Edith in a logical way, so that even though people who can't hear creepy dolls don't understand what Dru is raving about, she's actually very logical and responding to her environment. Often times I feel that fanfic authors get so lost in making Dru crazy, they forget that she plans things and in her own way does know what is going on. In my opinion, at least.

Anyway, fantastic update. Can't wait for more!!

Author's Response: Thanks hon. I had a lot of fun plotting some way future chapters that involve Dru and Miss E. I was so happy to read some of your thoughts where they're concerned and glad they come off as both creepy and inteligent. It will be fun to watch things spin out once they get to play it out in the wild west! I am awfully glad authos can say things like "10 days later, they arrived in Denver" :) The train will be fun, hopefully, all the same!

I'm glad Buffy didn't drown in that get up! Sounds like she might be drowning a little in William, though. I wonder what she thought of him saying that Spike taught her to kiss, though ... 'cos her memory of Spike was not of any kissage unless you count 'Something Blue' ... I would think that would freak her out a bit. Have they had that convo before? I don't recall it. I wonder how long she'll hold out against this romantic wooing and his sweetness? Not long, I hope! Great update. enjoyed it!

Author's Response: In the first story she told him of her relationship with Spike in a sketchy way (although mentioning they'd planned on being married, while glossing over the details). In this story, in the earliest chapters, he talked of how she'd tell him stories of her life in the modern age just as they settled in to bed at night. THanks for the review
