Oh, that was so sad, but incredibly believable. I totally thought Buffy might change her mind at the last minute and go back. But alas, no. Not surprised of course. I love this "what if" possibility if it had actually been Buffy who showed up and not Andrew, as sad as it was. Made a huge difference that it was from Buffy's POV - you really made me feel what she was feeling - the hurt, saddness, and even humiliation at Spike not telling her he was back. Well done.

And I echo the sentiment for a follow up!! :)
