Chapter Two Coming Back

Buffy sat up and turned to face Dawn.

"You'll never guess who's here!" Dawn cried, grinning.

"Spike." Buffy said, her smile matching Dawn's.

Dawn's smile faded, "How did you know?" she asked.

"Spike was in my dreams."

"That explains a lot."

"Why?"

"He stopped talking and just stared off into space, we were kind of worried."

"How long has he been here?"

"Angel said about a week, but that Spike wanted to wait to see you."

"Oh."

"Does he know?"

"About what?"

"Wesley."

"Apparently. He didn't seem to happy about it."

"What do you expect? Spike does love you."

"I know."

Dawn turned and left. Buffy slid out of bed and raced down the main staircase. She made it to the bottom just in time to see Spike heading for the front door.

"Where are you going?" Buffy asked.

"Out."

"Th sun is up."

"Doesn't matter."

"You're a vampire, of course it matters."

Spike grabbed Buffy's hand, pressing her fingers to his wrist.

He has a pulse, Buffy thought Wait, HE HAS A PULSE!!!!!!
