Good. Because as soon as I read your chapter, I hit ``comment'' and started to type without even knowing what I was going to say, so that came straight from the gut! I also forgot to say, re your last chapter, that starving Spike and loving Buffy always immediately brings up the bitey question, and even though Buffy has extremely good reasons why she shouldn't let him drink from her (she obviously does need to be strong to rescue them both from the situation), there's still a nagging little feeling hanging round that perhaps she still is holding back from him in some way. Just my thought anyway.
