I love the delight you've allowed Spike to show.  And the revelation to Buffy that she's got a keeper... a pure sensual, joyful animal artist who changed everthing...  

Absolutely beautiful!

Aww.... squee! I'm so glad she told him, and I absolutely love his reaction! The "say it again" and swinging from the ceiling thing... you've totally captured adorable, childish Spike.

wow i loved their trip to the mall.

Congratulations on your award, this fic deserves it and thanks to SMS for helping you get this posted, I'm very grateful to you both. What a wonderful chapter, she told him she loves him and It was so much fun to see them being so playful and relaxed for the first time in...never! I've got a painful feeling that he somehow knows that something else happened and I'm afraid he'll figure it out. Thanks.

Evil writer, I hope you can pull a happy ending out of your magic writer hat.

fun read, thank you. buffy finally remember what she wanted to tell him.

lol...i love that..that trip to the mall was so fun and sweet and whimsical, beautifully written...loved the "i love you" great chapter :)

The mall would creep me out, too. I'm glad she stood by what she said, even when Spike generously gave her an out.

that mall gives me the creeps!
