OH I am so glad she trusts him and what was with Dawn. I think it is a good idea to not tell anyone not even Dawn because she is so mad right now that she would just tell everyone.
Lol! it's called being a teenager. It doesn't exactly take a lot to set them off.

Thanks, honey!

awww...buffy's really doing things right this time, isn't she? great chapter :)
Thanks, honey!

Yep, Buffy is getting it right for just now. I guess worrying about him for a few days gave her some perspective and some thinking time.

Wow I got so into the story I forgot to review and had to come back - excellant excellant chapter - can;t wait to see giles reaction. great story!
Thank you! That's a great compliment. I don't think Giles is going to be overjoyed at the news, but we'll see (says the woman whose forgotten that little detail).

Oh one more thing - I love the ending of this chapter - the trust she gives him in wonderful!
Thank you! I figure that this far along in the relationship, she has to know that there is more to him than the demon.

I love the way you write characters - yow show them when they are acting strong and they are acting bitchy - it is great. They don't remain static one diminsional but act in ways that give nuances to the story and bring the characters to life in my mind. thank you (Jus reflecting on dawn here - you write her so well, she is strong and adult in someplaces, a teen in others) it truly is her character come to life!
Thank you!

I think, especially with Dawn, who as Spike points out in S5 is basically a hrmone bomb waiting to go off, there are a lot of occasions where she can play the brat, but at the same time she can put the attitude to one side when she has to, when Buffy collapsed in their hotel room for example. Adversity often brings out the best in her.

Let's hope it's a nice family dinner with the usual tears and recriminations!
Sorry for the delay in replying. I haven't been able to access the reply page for a couple of days, but that doesn't mean your comments aren't greatly appreciated.

You want tears and recriminations. I can't remember on the tears front but I know for sure there will be recriminations aplenty.

Can't give Dawn a quick garrotting please?
Every teenager has their moments. She'll improve with time once she realises that she isn't going to be left out in the cold.

Thank you for the new chapters! I'm glad to see they made it home and got some rest, even if the whiner wants more attention at the most inopportune times. More story soon please.
Thank you!

New chapters are thanks as always to C/alwaysjbj, who must have been straight back to posting almost as soon as she got home from holiday. Dawn will get better as the fic goes on. She's not normally that bad and her current reactons are probably due to insecurity over where she'll fit in and whether either Spike or Buffy are going to have time for her. Not entirely unjustified worries.
