that's some fast mail service!  this is good ... enjoyed.

awe... feel a bit of pity for riley...only a little!  good chp!

Wow. Riley is kinda scary with the bulldozing right over their breakup and telling Buffy she doesn't mean it. Although waking someone up to break up with them isn't the best strategy, either.

last comment was obviously for the preceding chapter. not having a smooth morning. good read, thank you.

doubt anya buys that tale. very good chapter, thank you.

I can totally belive Riley's reaction. Typical oblivious male. He doesn't want Buffy to break up with him... so that's not what she meant. Next time he speaks to her she'll have changed her mind, or he'll be able to convince her she didn't mean it. Yeah, right.

Gah! What a loser. Just accept it Riley! Your girlfriend dumped you!!!!! lovely update!

Proof that she NEEDS to break up with Riley even if Spike were not on the horizon.  's doing what Angel did and telling her what she should feel and do and completely ignoring what SHE says and wants....riding rough shod over her feelings.  I say...run, do not walk, to the crypt and do what you really want and need to do!

Have a feelin Riley will be after Spike once he thinks about her defense of the vampire and the breakup...oh oh!

great chapter!  keep it up :D

Buffy should ring Riley back to clarify the situation, pronto.  She's definitely over-thinking things.  Nice update.

This isn't an uncommon attribute that writer's give Riley.  Can't imagine why.  Question is, what will Buffy do now?  Catch Spike with her pants?

She did the breaking, so him accepting it is his problem. Next time he calls, just tell him "I'm just not that in to you," Buffy. That might work. ;)

Aww, Spike took her clothes inside...
