“Don’t hold back,” she whispered. A truer invitation he had never received.

Before her fatal leap off of Glory’s tower, Buffy invites Spike back into her house to retrieve weapons. An extended version of that scene.

Sequel to “Cold Light of Day” (#2), and "New Territory" (#1), but also works as a stand-alone episode rewrite. Set in Season 5, during “The Gift”. Bits of dialogue from “The Gift”, by Joss Whedon the man himself, are used here to establish continuity.
