very, very good read, thank you.

Lovely chapter filled with ache and balm for the soul

Love Spike in this chapter!  He said all the right words without really knowing it and took a chance despite the possibility of a bad Buffy reaction.  You really showed Buffy's vulnerable side and the beginnings of her death wish well!  The hotness in the car didn't hurt either!  Best chapter so far!

So near then so far away!!  Wonderful Spike voice.

oooh, I really like this! Your characters are spot on :)
I'm definately looking forward to more!

Lovely. Strange to say, but I'm kinda glad they didn't have it off in the car. Just seemed too rushed. Nice work.

You have the characterization of Spike an Buffy absolutely on target and the UST is amazing!  The way Spike was talking to Buffy brought tears to my eyes...that could have so changed the way things went on the show...

I got so excited to see this update and love this story!

He was a golden net and she was caught, well and truly snared, no matter how she tried to fight it.

This line was wonderful, and the rest of the writing is so descriptive and well done.  I love the buildup of tension and the dropoff.  It feels authentic to how Buffy would react.  Spike's characterization is great, and I'm looking forward to reading more.

Somewhere along the line he'd said something right for once.

I love your Spike, writhing in shame, fierce and frantic and such a man-child.

Great chapter, loved the snark! Hoping she will finally give him a chance!
