Thanks so much, Pin and Shippy, for the feedback. Trying to get inside Buffy's head, especially at that point in time, was quite a challenge. I'm very happy to hear it's working for you.
I also had to keep reminding myself that the Scoobies were fairly accepting of Spike's presence around that time, even if they weren't particularly welcoming. I hope I've managed to strike that uneasy balance.
Thank you again for commenting. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story as I'm able to post it!
Author's Response: I just started using the "view unanswered reviews" link and saw this. So I'm posting to get it out of there. Heh. Sometimes I'm such a dork.

I do so much hate Xander. I love your portrayal of Buffy's inner turmoil, though. Great work. And you're stopping here that is a damn shame.
Author's Response: Darn! I responded to this review way back when by posting a note of my own. This was apparently before I learned how to use the "respond" button. Sheesh. So two years later, here's what I said: Thanks so much, Pin and Shippy, for the feedback. Trying to get inside Buffy's head, especially at that point in time, was quite a challenge.

Great story. they all seem to be more moderate and I love Buffy's internal struggle over her desires for Spike. Can't wait to see the action at the Gala. Thanks!
Author's Response: Whups! I just realized, two years later, that I should have responded directly instead of replying in another review. Sorry!
