Chapter 21
Spike and Buffy decided to return to The Center for the Research of Restoration of Souls. They both have guessed what the truth was, but wanted to hear from someone else. They enter the building and are surprised to see the older lady waiting on them. The lady escorted both Buffy and Spike to the back room with the table. It has not changed one bit.
"I know why both of you are here" the mysterious women says. "You have a question for me?"
"Yes, could we be soul mates and have been forever?" Buffy asks the older lady.
"Not forever just since Lizzy and William, they found true love but threw it away. Will you do the same?"
"No madam, I love her and in this life and all the others she will be mine." He then turns and pulls out a ring case, "Buffy will marry me?"
"I will marry you in this life and all the others we have together." Buffy answers Spike.
"I will make her my lover, my wife, and my friend forever?" Spike reaches for Buffy hand; he then placed the ring on and kisses the ring.
"Lizzy can now rest in peace." The old woman said.
Buffy and Spike leave the place with the knowledge that they were meant to be together always.
