My faith has been restored - what a long, lovely chappie! What did Spike mean when he said "he broke it first"? Is it because Spike bit Buffy (although not on the neck) during their first time together? Should Ford have recognized that? Loved the "I wanted to mate with you" slip of Spike's tongue and of course the fact that he couldn't turn her, when it boils right down to it, ultimately because of his feelings for her. Simply cannot wait until he finally shares his feelings with her - it's been a long time coming! And poor Buffy's bared her soul at every turn with him. Wonderful - as always, cannot wait for more! All the best, Melissa

oh,, thank you for explaining that!!! so soon too...I kind of thought it was that type of situation. And, thank you for not having Buffy sleep with that vampire. Please keep Aubry away from Spike that way. He's so in love with Buffy, hopefully he'll and she'll see that... Luv, spuf
