I have no idea how Buffy manages to deal with all of this because it's almost too much for me, and I'm only reading it.  I'm guessing Buffy is gonna get curious about what Spike told her.  I'm also gonna guess that he's going to be the one she seeks comfort from when she finds out her mom is sick.  I wish she would so the smart thing and listen to Joyce because if I've learned one thing it's that Moms' advice is pretty much a sure bet!

still a very suspenful story, and I love the way you are updating so often.  Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like out heroes will have a very romantic V-day.

Thanks for the update.  I'm still really into this story.

Thanks for the beautiful writing.  I'm really enjoying this story.

Great update, thanks!

Time for Buffy to grow up!
