What's up with Buffy?!  Her attitude just drives me CRAZy!!  See you wrote it so well that I'm climbing up the wall.

Yeah of course she's okay with that. Because deep down she thinks he will wait. Wait until she's ready even if it's 20 years from now. But it's selfish of her, he has to sit by and watch her go with others, Angel and the rest and just wait for her? I hope he doesn't. Then maybe she'll realize what she let get away in him.

what a lovely piece of writing, this is a beautiful fic, it made me want to weep for what could have been for them.

Ah, I remember readng this (on lj maybe?) So very them. Tentative, but real. I'm sure Spike means it - and it could happen. Sometimes you just have to acknowledge that not being ready isn't good enough - not when you've already blown it once by waiting too long...
