I'm glad Giles' understandable grief wasn't being ignored, at least not entirely.

Spike grimaced and clapped his hands gently over Dawn’s ears. “Now then, Buffy. Impressionable young girl here, you know.”

Interesting how Spike only cares about this kind of thing when it suits him :-)

Buffy really didn't give Spike much of a choice, did she? I guess she either didn't really think it through or just really wanted to make sure he made the right one -- which he did, of course. Yay for a happy ever after for those two!
