Hi. I've been reading this story since you've started it and it's a good story, but I don't really get this chapter.
You write: I love you because of your goodness. Because when I look at you, I feel myself weaken next to your strength. I know the color of your eyes because when I see them I see wisdom far beyond your years. I get lost in them. You helped me at my lowest when I didn’t cry out for it. You are the best person I have ever known

But how did she help him exactly? By having sex with him? And we don't know if she's such a good person; she slept with a lot of guys, I can't remember (please correct me if I'm wrong) that she did anything that qualifies her as such a good person.

Author's Response: Well, the way that I saw it was that Spike was in a loveless marriage for years. He watched Dru and parts of himself crumble and felt like he had no power to stop it. Yes, when he started watching Buffy it was pretty much a lust thing, but Spike feels like he has a connection with her. The night when he had the fight with Dru, (in his opinion) Buffy kind of came out of nowhere to help him out without the pretense of sleeping with him. Buffy honestly wasn't planning on sleeping with him, but she was just sort of lusty by nature. So, Buffy may not be necessarily a "good person", but Spike sees her that way because he sees her as the one who will save him from how crappy his life used to be. I know thats long, but i hope that helps! Thanks for the review!

Hey hey hey,
I totally agree with sallyntmare, it so was a cliffhanger.
I am very glad 'The talk' took place and now it leaves everything else open. I think they were able to sort out the issues they had and still be sweet with each other as well. As to the few chapters left, follow your heart with where you think the story should go. You have done a remarkable job and we all love the story you have given us so far. As with the angsty-ness the reason it drives me crazy is because we usually get left on major cliffhangers and I have to wait for the updates. I don't like waiting! lol Though lucky for us I believe you are just as invested in this story as the rest of us and wont leave us hanging for months without an update....YAY!

I really love this story and cannot wait to see where you lead us towards the end...

Fantastic job Ariel

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked that chapter and the story in general. Yes, I am invested in the story to the point where I feel bad if I don't post for a few days. No month long waits here. I will see where the story goes logically and go from there :)

That was totally a cliffhanger! You can't leave it at something like that,lol. Buffy just said the L-word!

The conversation was needed, so I'm glad it happened.

I'm a little bummbed that you hinted that this story has 3-4 chapters left. I'm selfish and would like this story to go on forever!

Author's Response: lol Perhaps it is a cliffhanger... but not as much as the last few chapters, so I'm not letting it count. The 3-4 chapters is just an idea of how much longer it'll go, but it's not a definite yet. I would also love for it to keep going. I have two plots in mind where the story could go; in one, it goes on for around 10 more chapters but it would get moderately angsty, in the other its 3-4 chapters of more fun stuff. Depends. Thanks for the review, as always!
