that was unexpected.

Oh, Buffy saying thank you. That's a twist.
Yeah, I thought things needed to change just a little bit. :)

::sighs:: I think you just made me fall in love with Spike all over again :)
*blushes* Thanks for such a great compliment.

Thanks for bringing up the matter of the art gallery. I don't remember anything mentioned in canon about that. One would think there would have been some sort of arrangements made.
You're welcome. It was something that had bugged me and I made a solution for it.

More? Please? Soon? Pretty please? :)
I'm trying my best! Next chapter is up though.

wonderful read, love. thank you. now, are you going to ruin the memory of the last scene by having the morning bring back bitchy buffy?
Glad you enjoyed. LOL! Me? Ruin the memory? You'll just have to read and see. I'm trying to keep this as close to canon as possible, so if you know your Buffy, I think you can take a good guess. ;-)

I really just hope that Buffy really does open up to him. He has really been taking care of her and Dawn without 'wanting' to take credit... Love the final scene.
I'm not giving anything away. :-) Glad you enjoyed the final scene.

hmm, Buffy is a lot nicer when she's tired and not so suspicious. I always wondered what happened to Joyce's business, so it's nice to know it still exists and Spike has been looking after it. I'm curious about what he was doing at the court house, and I wonder when Buffy is going to ask about that. Loved her jealousy at the thought that he was seeing another girl, even if she claimed she doesn't care. Poor Spike, she fell asleep before he could get his smoochies, although I'm sure the fact that she's using him as a living teddy bear makes up for it
Well, it is her subconscious talking! I always found the issue of Joyce's gallery unresolved, so I fixed it. Everything will get explained in time. :-) Thanks for reading and reviewing.

hmmm...seems she does a lot of that "kissing him thank you" stuff :P better than kissing angel "hello", anyway :) lol...excellent chapter, very sweet and real and moving...looking forward to more :)
Yeah, Buffy doesn't really always know how to use her words. She's more of an action type person. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. :-)

oh I love this story! It just keeps getting better and better! Please continue soon! :)
Thanks! *blushes* I have the next chapter up now.

Very nice chapter. It was nice having Buffy react sweetly to Spike for a change.
Thank you!

I hope Buffy's just as agreeable in the morning!
You'll have to read and see for yourself. ;-)

Great chapter, please update soon, I wonder if Buffy will chicken out in the morning or not.
You can see now, the next chapter is up.

Awww, that was so sweet. I'm glad you answered one question that I never though of until now. What happened to Joyce's show, and if it was sold, why didn't Buffy get any of the money? Wonder how she'll react in the morning? Great chappie, sweetie.
Yup, it was one thing that I was wondering about too. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. More is up now.

I like where this is heading--nice to have Buffy actually think instead of just react.
Well, I'm trying, but Buffy can be just as impulsive as Spike is.

A movie type moment, but oh so cute. Love the gallery idea, with him thinking of the practical while Buffy flounders about life. I'm sure she'll freak out in the morning, though.
Yeah, it was a bit movie type. I hope not too much though! If Spike is anything, he's pretty practical.

01/25/2007 07:02 am
He's taking care of them, how sweet. The gallery is a good cover for his income, great idea. Loved that she wanted him to stay. Perfect chapter, thanks.
Yup, I thought it was a great idea. Something pretty Spike-ish. LOL!

lol at sleepy sex kitten
There was a sleepy sex kitten?

Thanks for the update, great Chapter! More soon please.
You're welcome. Next chapter is up now. :-)

Lovely chapter! I love that Spike has been helping Joyce, without Buffy's knowledge. The ending was so sweet...for Spike's sake I do hope that come morning Buffy remembers that SHE is the one who insisted he stay.
Well, we know how things usually work out for Spike. Glad you like the idea. I thought it was pretty original and something Spike would do.

awww.... and another big AWWW... thats so sweet :)
Thanks, I'm trying to keep this fic towards the lighter side.
