Oh, that was so good. So them. So her.

Merci beaucoup.

Ah, my heart. You've captured their silent understanding beautifully. Her fear and the way he lets her know she's not helpless, that she has choices, that she's still in charge of her actions. That's a real partner.

I love this! It's so insightful, and it has some of my favorite Spuffy things! (Sharing comfortable silence: yess. Spike knowing how she feels without asking: doubleplusyes. ^^)

Oh, what a wonderful portrait of a beautiful partnership!

What better way to show how deep his understanding of her is?
I love this!
