Rereading this story from a long time ago, an I'm surprised by a few things: First why is Buffy surprise Spike wants to eat? Remember he was peckish and ate in front of her at the Bronze while they did their Slayer/death chat. Also, she dropped money on him at the end of the evening when she said, "He was beneath her." It's only been a couple of days, so again it shouldn't have been a great stretch for her too imagine where he got his money from. Oh well, I'm still enjoying the story (again!) Cheers!
