Oh, I like this version better - more meaty! And my head is slightly more awake, so I'll try to do some feedback.
Like she didn't even know him anymore.
Hurrah! Light bulb moment! She doesn't know him, and it's about time she realised!
Given a choice between Nurse Buffy and Nurse Angel...
Hehehehe! That line just cracked me up!
Angel's still downstairs, you know,... Brooding in his car. You want to yell at him some more, go help yourself."
Such a perfect Spike line!
Is that what you're thinking?" Bitterness soaked every word. "That I can't cut it as a Champion?"
Oh, that's painful! Especially since I think this is how he defines himself now, and having her question this is possibly worse than her not loving him... he has finally found a purpose and the person who gave him that purpose seems to be implying that he can't look after himself. And I don't think that Buffy has quite grasped all the implications of this yet - she's understood it from her own point of view (he's going to leave, just like Angel), but I don't think she's understood how important it is for him to have something to believe in - a mission. And that currently he trusts the mission more than he trusts that she loves him, as he loves her.
It was a surprisingly vivid picture now--she could see them in her mind's eye, all smooth moves and swirling black leather. Iconic. Like something out of a movie.
Mmmm, yes please!
"You don't have to prove anything to me! You've already proven yourself! You won, Spike! I love you! I love you! I love you! La la la, roses and puppies! How many times do I have to say it?"
I really liked that line - the anger and frustration and the fact that she does love him, but just has such a problem trying to get this across. And this of course ties in with what I said above. And she really, really needs to sit down and think about what this means for her and what she's going to do with her life.
Hmm, I think I had more thoughts, but I'll stop now. Thank you so much for this!
