Thank you so much! So glad you liked it! This started because of the "exit, pursued by a Slayer", but then I realized that Buffy would be the one most likely to say something like that and the rest sort of unfolded from there.

I didn't think about it, but you're right that it's Giles keeping count of their time. Not that Buffy isn't, because she realized what he was talking about pretty quick, but I don't think she was expecting it to be such a big deal for Giles and it's probably making her melt, even if she is giving him a hard time. ;-)
