I like that she's letting herself be more open to the happiness she feels with Spike. Yes she's imagining him as normal, but I think she's also allowing herself to admit she cares. Not to mention accepting him when he says he does. It was good to see her, Willow and Dawn spend time together and just enjoy it. Now hopefully Buffy's willingness to fantasize about more with Spike will continue even with him coming around the others more. I'm thinking Dawn will at least be pleased
Dawn *is* going to be happy ... but this is the Hellmouth, and so more drama will come before there's any lasting happiness ...

This is really really good - don't know what else to say.
Thanks, RJ - and there's no need to say another word!

she's folding...now if the Scoobies can keep from screwing it up for them.
And, don't forget, that we have to hope that Buffy and Spike don't screw it up for themselves! They do that so often. :(

Loving that she's acknowledging her feelings for him and they are more then him being her "sex toy". He'd better not even try to compare himself to Captain Cardboard, there is no contest! Dawn's going to be suprised and happy for his presence at dinner. Can't wait to see that. Great chapter, thanks.
Thanks, Verda. And yes, it is just a crime that Spike worries that he won't measure up to CC. As if there is any universe in which that's a valid comparison!

Sigh....so hot and so much the way it SHOULD have gone based on how S6 started till Marti started projecting her issues on our fav couple. Really well written and steamy.

Thanks, Kathleen. And while I'm not planning on keeping things quite this easy, I agree that Ms. Noxon did not do our characters justice!

Fantabulous as always! I absolutely loved this chapter, most especially Buffy's growing feelings for Spike.
Thanks, Esther! I just can't imagine anyone spending that much *quality* time with Spike and not noticing that he's more than a strings-free good time!
