Wow!! Dawn really screwed things up with her wish!  A cot in the basement? Helping Catherine KEEP Amy's body?  Yeah, girl has some 'splainin' to do!  Great chappie!  I especially liked Halfrek's hesitancy about keeping something from Bony.  And it was a nice surprise to see Anyanka visiting!  I wasn't sure she'd do so or if she'd try to handle things on her own.  I have to say I'd love one tiny flashback to when Hank was alive to see him interacting with Buffy in a NON-absentee father kind of way (since he got custody).  & of course I adored the loving natures of both Spike and Giles.  Love seeing the bed again, btw...even if Buffy was too hurt to do anything but sleep in it. ;)  Fantastic update, looking forward to more!  By the by...my b'day is Aug. 4th...any chance for some IG updates in honor of my big 32nd? LOL  Yeah, I'm being a greedy little bitch w/ all my favorite authors in hopes of getting fic updates by pulling the birthday card.  I have no shame. :D
