This was, by some considerable margin, the hardest chapter of this story to write, and I'm still not sure I hit every note I wanted to. Trying to get into the Spuffy relationship of late season seven and do it justice, and to also take into account all the other things happening that season, and do all this from inside Buffy's head, was hard. But I did my best, and I hope you'll enjoy the end result and forgive me for the remaining imperfections. Particular thank you to DeepBlueJoy for giving me feedback on an early version, and to medievalchic for beta-ing a version much closer to the one you're reading here
CW for a reference to the assault in Seeing Red.
