"my girl" and "she cozied...." seems they both are functioning better on an unconscious level. very good read, thank you.

Seems Buffy has finally gotten over her slayer death wish. It's nice to know that Spike is still in there somewhere with the words and instinct to protect his girl.

my girl - I caught that.

she cozied at once into that same good place, against the column of his neck, and was out.

That would be a GREAT place to fall asleep!!! LOL! Awesome chapter; luv luv luv it! Please more!
