You've taken this in a really interesting direction. There's something satisfying in the idea of someone taking care of Xander, and in his getting time to do some healing. This story is kind of a great interlude in what's a busy, strange life, where there's always something more important to do than working through their issues.

I like your OC. Travel writer Slayer is a change. *g* (Re-reading this comment, it's struck me that it *is* quite a change to meet a Slayer who's fully grown up and independent).

Thanks for a good read. :)
