Much like Spike, I too enjoy when Buffy puts great, brooding Angel firmly in his place. Of course his concern is not that she'll get herself into trouble with one of her male peers, but that she's reminding him of what he can't have... Angel, you're kind of transparent. And Spike's take is pretty awesome, too. Though it was also a great opportunity for some of his brilliant Angel monologue... perhaps another time. :) Glad the blond wonder is going to actually try to be a bit patient this time, can't wait to see where it takes them, when this simmering starts to boil over! Update soon!

Author's Response: Thanks, BR! I'm so glad you like my Spike! And as for Spike's monologue about Angel, there'll be plenty of that, as well as dialog between them! As for Spike's patience, yeah, that never really goes well!
