Good ol Hank ... always the same. I hope that Buffy and Spike get through to each other. I personally don't see how Spike could have stayed away, but then again Angel and Buffy herself put so much doubt in him that yeah, it could happen. Nicely written.

The letters were heartbreaking and I loved her being kicked out of her house was addressed. Great chapter.

wow...they just have a way of messing things up between the two of them dont they?? very true to the characters...on to the next chappie now :)
