Lol Spike gone soft, Riley gets dumped, good chapter.

 Buffy dumping Riley was violent and vivid, and she played right into Spike's hands.  I'm delighted the seduction isn't going smoothly.  It would be out of character for Buffy just to succumb to Spike's dubious charms.

I was worried that Spike's anger would spark the killing spree everyone's been expecting.  That would make Buffy and the gang morally obligated to dust him.  Thanks for having him "sprout a conscience."

"Ferocity entered his eyes the minute she had mentioned Angel and Spike, the two vampires that happened to be "related," and who both had an interest in the Slayer."
Tee hee...*grins*
And Spike's internal conversation was just the best one I've ever read.
Gotta read more...:D

haha... definitely enjoying this story!
