Thanks for the giggle, the way you put the "box monster" took me back to the very beginning and the bit of innocence the show first had, when it started. Surprised Spike didn't feel her panic through the claim, but if he had, we wouldn't of had that beautiful moment. I just love this connection that they all have, though not the circumstances in which they're connected, just make's the fic more fascinating. Yeah, maybe the good-for-nothing Liam may have a Christmas miracle still waiting for him, even if he doesn't deserve it. I feel alot sorrier for Oscar then I do Liam. Oscar was a loving husband and father and Angleus changed his life forever, long before he was turned. Fantastic chapter, thanks.

The Spuffy scenes in this story are so heartwarming, I just love the quiet moments between Spike and Buffy. Thanks for another great flashback, loved the Liam/Oscar interaction. Great chapter!

What a contrast between the two scenes. I loved the reassurance that Spike gave Buffy with her expressed fear that having him back was just a dream. I am rather enjoying the truths that Oscar keeps giving Liam. Thanks so much for the update.
