I like the way you've expanded Xander's inner dialog. I hadn't given much thought to the fact that when I originally wrote the piece it was really from a "camera" point of view. I also like the way you've extended the end to tie in more specifically with the way learning this fact about Anya would deepen the hairline fractures in their relationship was their wedding grew nearer.

And my favorite line? "You know better than to ask me questions about nails. The only thing I know is that Sally Hanson's Hard as Nails make them stronger so that you don't break nails while staking vampires. And I only know that because Buffy used to talk about it all the time.

Hee! That's so Xander (and by extension, Buffy).


Thank you!

P.S. The whole "who does Dana of True Lies remind you of" cracked me up.
