ahhh how sweet! I really liked this

A great chapter-- and what a lovely cliffhanger. Can't wait to read the next chapter!

Very nice. I don't usually like anything at all schmoopy...maybe it's reading and writing too much darker stuff, but this is a pleasant change.

awesome pet! i loved this story! so glad to read it again

AWESOME fic. This would have been a MUCH better fic for this time frame. I look forward to the next chapter!!

Great story. If only it had happened this way on the show. I am glad that you had Buffy doing the majority of the talking. I wonder what will happen when they go public.

Love the Xander putdown!

Wow, I loved this. You did a fantastic job of showing Buffy's loneliness and her being disconnected with those around her. I love that she told Xander to but out, that she realized how poorly they had been treating Spike, and that her happiness was important. Thanks for posting this here. :)

excellent read, thank you

awwww...that was beautiful...and perfectly in character, too...very sweet without being sappy...very much enjoyed it :)

Very nice beginning. Hope Buffy continues to hold steady when Xander or the other Scoobies start passing judgement. I'll be looking for the updates to this one.

Yup - big oversight cause that was just sweet! Nice story. Thanks for posting it.

Very nice start - looking forward to more!

So glad that you posted here. It's easier to read the larger print here. Haven't been to DS in a few weeks *bad me* but reading everyones stuff here. Great beginning! Update as soon as you can. LOL

Great chapter. I love how she told Xander to butt out. She would have been a whole lot happier in canon if she'd done that.

Buffy finally made a ver simple decision.. to be happy instead of doing what she thinks will make her friends happy.

Spectacular.
