Spike just wants to love her and the vamp thing isn't even an issue here. I can understand being afraid of getting hurt though. I don't know what more he is gonna be able to do to get Buffy to give him a real chance.

Author's Response: She is very scared of risking her heart again but don't worry, I have some things planned so Buffy will get a chance to really see Spike and the man he can be. :)
