I'm so very glad you trust me. I do hope you like how everything turns out.
As for the foreshadowing that worries you, let me just draw your attention to a different bit from this chapter: Spike never wanted to talk about his vampire exploits to Xander—not in any specific terms, anyway. Sometimes in the middle of the night he woke up sweating and shaking with tears on his face, and when Xander woke up too and asked him what was wrong he'd say he was dreaming about being a vampire, but he never got into details.
And also a bit from an earlier chapter: Spike's knuckles went white on the steering wheel. "When I said painting the streets red," he said quietly, with a sort of disconcerting intensity, "I was being more or less literal. Right now I'm murdering people, pet. So don't ask me if I miss any part of that."
What I'm getting at here is, although there are a lot of things about being human that totally suck, Spike is not nostalgic about his time as a vampire.
