Chapter 8
Willow
She had been right! She knew there was still something between Buffy and Spike. It had been obvious that Buffy still harboured feelings for Spike, just from the way she talked about him, not to mention how she looked at him. And there had never been any doubt about Spikes feelings, he'd promised to love Buffy forever, and even if Buffy probably didn't see it, Willow did. It was good that he was home. She knew that Buffy hadn't said anything about Angel to him yet, and probably wouldn't unless she had a gentle nudge in the right direction. She'd have to do it before Angel came back, and he'd be back soon. No doubt he would start a fight when he saw Spike. Those two had never got along. She just hoped she was right that Buffy hadn't changed so much that she would keep the whole Angel thing a secret from Spike, because if that was what she planned to do Willow would have to take it upon herself to tell him and she didn't want to be the one to do that
Spike
It was weird. He was back in good old Sunnydale for the first time in two years and it was as if he had never left. He had gone to the Bronze and danced with Buffy just like the old times. He smiled ruefully to himself as he remembered their dance earlier that night. He had gotten caught in the moment and seemed to be reliving so many memories, thinking, maybe even wishing it was those old days again. She many not have responded to the kiss like he hoped but on the up side she didn't rush away from him. So there was still some hope, and something to work on
He was still wondering what had happened to her. Something or someone had hit 'his' Buffy and bruised her. He shook himself, she wasn't his anymore, was she? Chances were she wasn't going to tell him what happened straight out. He'd talk to Willow and get whatever scraps of information that she'd give him and make Buffy think he knew more than he did, and ask her to fill in the gaps. Then he'd deal with whoever the bastard was.
Buffy
Willow had done the right thing in convincing her to go out tonight, she'd really enjoyed herself and not only because Spike was back. It was like a weight of her shoulders to know that Angel wasn't going to be there. Thank God he wouldn't be back for nearly two more weeks. It would give her sometime to pluck up the courage to tell Spike about it . . . . . . and to give him some time to calm down after hearing it. He never had liked the 'poofter'. She'd tell him tomorrow . . . . or maybe the next day. Would he ever forgive her for going with Angel? She hoped so, she really needed all the friends
