another step in the right direction. good read, thank you.

Love the best friend communication here! They clearly both miss th way they used to be and they're trying to support one another. Reminds me of a much younger Buffy and Willow. And did I catch a slight implication that if Buffy did have her head in the right place things would be different?

Wow, Buffy making a correct relationship decision and sticking to it. Not to mention her friends allowing her to stick to it. I'm impressed.

Good chapter, I definitely liked the interaction between Buffy and Willow, since the show really stopped with the talks between the two.
