Story Notes: I recommend reading the first two stories in the series first, otherwise this might not make sense. This takes place between BtVS S4 and S5.
This is a Buffy/Spike/Riley story. I like Riley. He's treated very sympathetically in this. In fact, this is from his POV. You have been warned.
I want to dedicate this to my good friend ClowniestLivEver who planted the idea of writing a Buffy/Spike/Riley fic in my brain. Thanks for enabling me, and putting up with all my Riley propaganda.
The title of this fic comes from the Marina song "Goodbye".
I can honestly add this to the relatively short list of "stories I have cried while writing".
