So , so sweet. Ioved the playground scene...Spike pushing Buffy on the swing and Buffy sliding down the slide. Their convo is just perfect. It's nice to see a carefree Buffy.

Loved Spike's lines about Buffy's exes...

"three generations of farm-boy inbreeding is bound to mess with you head."

"Peaches is an overbearing control freak"

"Parker was a wanker . I'm amazed the prat managed to locate his own dick, let alone use it." LOL. God I love Spike. :) And you've captured his voice to T.

Can't wait for more of this great story. :)

Author's Response: Aww shucks *blushes* Thankyou ever so much! He really is one of a kind... although two Spike's would open up a world of new opportunities *grins*

Loved the chapter.

Author's Response: Thankyou very much. More soon :)

Well, it's not a declaration of love, but it's a start. It would take a while for her to say those words, but at least we know she's on the verge of feeling it. I'm actually okay with the non sexcapades, even though you've already shown this will be nothing like the 6th season, which I'm grateful for. I actually prefer the talking over the sex, yeah, I'm weird that way. I know that's where it's going, though, and I have no problem with it. I'm just glad you let them talk out their fears first before they jumped right into it, I think a lot needed to be said. I'm loving this fiction, and I'm sad that it's almost over. Can't wait for more=)

Author's Response: Aww honey Thanks for leaving such a detailed review. The amount of talking in this fic was the reason I was so scared to attempt it! Sexcapades are on the way but not to the extent of my previous fics. I wanted this one to be different and so far it seems to be working. *happy dance*
