love where spike chose to end his night. very good read, thank you.

Hmm, I'm sure there was plot here but you had me lost at the idea of Spike macking on a cute guy....Mmmmmmm.....

Good work!!

I feel for both of them but they certainly need some time apart.

Poor Buffy just can't win a trick. Seems like Spike would rather be anywhere than with her.
Do you think he could show her a little compassion, after all she is trying her best.

i can't begin to tell you how good it is to be reading a new story written by you. some of the most powerful thoughtful spuffy stories i've read and cried over, have been penned by you. i find myself once again checking a website daily for updates (it's been a while). i can't wait to see where your going to take our friends.

Glad Spike has someone he can think of as a friend, someone who makes this all easier. Just wish Buffy would come clean or Willow would do a remembering spell so he could stop suffering and Buffy could stop torturing herself.

Two chapters in one day - woohoo! Spike's getting really interesting. Buffy had better get her act together fast or she's going to lose him! Great work - keep it coming, please!

Thanks for the extra chapter today! Looking forward to more tomorrow.

I appreciate the double update today. This chapter is delightful. Everybody is on best (for them) behavior. Teaching Bakhita to swear is so sweet, so Spike, so Dawn's big brother, that Buffy must see that he's the same guy. I hope she doesn't wuss out with the "I" statements.

There's the Spike we all know and love; a sucker for a Slayer, especially one that's having a rough time. Love this chapter; can't wait to see more!

"Let's start with you gettin' the swear words down. Once you've got those, you can ease your mind, an' the rest will come."

Yeah, now that's the ticket--glad he's almost home safe--good grief it feels like we're getting too close to that last thing that happens right before the horrible train wreck. Want someone to end up happy outta all this and wish like hell Buffy would just do it whatever it is--kiss, tell, get off the p....you connect so nicely with Spike, feels right what you write--Buffy, is there enough therapy in the world...

If you are planning on there being any Spike/Bakhita please tell us now so I can stop reading. This is a great story but I'm just not interested in a fic where Buffy's heart is broken by seeing Spike hooking up with another. I don't think she deserves it and I just can't take the angst and heartache right now.
