wonderful chapter -

Wow!  Very impressive Lewis Carroll like logic.

omg, omg, omg,  getting excited ! ! !  hopefully she is getting through to him.
I loved the imagery in this chapter,  kept me on my toes piecing it all together.
thank you for this,  and Happy New Year

Is that last line a good thing or a bad thing?

I wonder what Buffy will think when she finds out the real way Spike's mom died? The way she found her sounds lke what Angel would have done if he had found her.

You spoil us with two new chapters! I'm worried about what Angelarse is up to while he cuts Dawn and the others off from Buffy - but Spike at last seems to be considering fighting back. Hurry up, Buffy!
