Wonderful chapter. I'm actually rather glad you didn't take it any farther/longer. I think you might have diluted the rather large implications if you had. Spike's near numbness as he begins to turn things over in his mind and then the explosion as understanding comes were beautifully written. Then Xander's own perfectly in-character almost apathetic acceptance... that was painful to read (and still reassuring to me somehow *g*).
Just very well done. Yes, I'm glad you didn't do more here.
"You could go back to Sunnydale." That was the big step, wasn't it? I'm glad, too, that you didn't belabour the point here. You made it, but you didn't hit us over the head with it.

Very, very well done, love.
