The first time that I read this fanfic I remember that I loved (and still love) the fact that Marie takes Loganīs jacket with her, and that she sleeps/wears it. That duality of run away of him and want to have a part of Logan with her is so beautiful. I really love this type of stories where they make a lot of mistakes and suffer until they know how the things really are. Like a path that is necessary to walk because if you donīt do it you will never understand your mistakes and what made you have that future-life in the end.
Other thing that I like about this chapter is the motel moment. When sheīs in the bed after having a hot/sweet dream and hears the motorcycle. How scared she was because a part of her wanted to be found, but other part doesnīt know what she wants. Normally, when she runs away, he never found her until they both are ready to be together. I like that you made this difference. Logan is good following her, so it is more real if they cross otherīs path.
Author's Response: Yeah. She wants to leave him, to save face, but she loves him too much to let him go.
She wants to run from him, but she wants to be found. You'll notice that she went to Canada, where he would untimately look for her, and she never really conceals her presence, but she makes him have to work for it. All of this is subconcious.

here's my word fetish first, lets get that over an done with.
it was like saving face - love that line. a little pride that made you realise exactly how low Rogue is right now.
could charm the habit off a nun - lol. but yes. he could.
Everything’s burning - that line was HAWT. just perfect.
rogue is not in a good place right now is she, and the desperation she is exuding makes it look like she's running away from abuse which makes us notice how cowed she is. how she goes running when he calls, picks him up etc even though she thinks it's ovr jean. even how she had sex thinking he just wanted relief. kinda an abuse that she puts herself through.
how did you decide exactly how far is smell range would go - i've seen wolverine and the x-men and how powerful his sense of smell is there, but did you calculate it from somewhere? i'm most interested in the technical sides of things - it drives me nuts and makes me type strange things into google.
kinda feel sorry for logan at this point, more so then rogue even
Author's Response: Marie was definately 'Saving Face' here. She basically shamed herself for sleeping with him, because she wontonly threw herself into him. Like, when he realized he wasn't dreaming, and he would have stopped, she drew himin before he made the choice. She also feels shamed that she let herself be a second choice, runner-up, cheap replacement. Her wounded pride is what's making her not pick up the phone, and run from him, because she doesn't want him changing her mind because he feels he should. She's done what she's done and she'll live through her own type of torture, thank you very much. She doesn't need anyone telling her how messed up she is, or any of that because she's told herself over and over. SHe knows she hurt herself, and she thinks she probably hurt him too. She'd rather run away than deal.rnrn*grins* I like to think that I inject a specefic type of humor into my stories. Marie's mind and other characters display the type of sarcastic, off kilter, out of the blue mind rambling stuff that I think that people think of a constant daily basis, but would never say out loud. Except for those that do. Like Marie.rnrnWith the scent range... it's different. Dogs can trace a scent hours and maybe even days after it's left. It's less about haw far away you are and more about how many of the scent markers are left in the air without being whiped away by nature, something else, or just covered up really well. It mainly depends on how well the subject has trained their noses to specific scents, how good their natural abilities to detect such things are, and how well they can pair that particular skill with their other skills. Tracking, how well they know their prey. Things like that. Also, it depends on their particualr smell. I just go with what feels right for the character and what sounds right continuity wise. I don't think Logan relies soley on his sense of smell, more a combination of his sense of hearing and smell to pick out the differences in his surroundings. rnrnI felt horrible for Logan during this, because I knew that he wasn't sleeping, or eating reguralry and that Marie'd left basing her decisions on assumtpions and what she thought she knew of Logan, not what the Logan in her head could tell her. Firstly, because it was mostly erased with the cure, and secondly because it's been years since he's touched her to heal her. So she woulnd't know the new Logan anyways. rnrnEverything's Burning, is kind of a throwback to the part where I mentioned earlier how sensitive and unused to human touch her skin is. Everything would be multiplied, she's be more acute to texture and sensation that other would.rnrnThanks for the awesome review girly.

Mmm, not as gripping as the first chapter as the descriptive running away is very lengthy, but am interested to see what happens when he catches up to her and whether she's going to turn out pregnant and get her powers back..

Fast update! I hope you're working on the next part. I'd like to see what Logan has to say.
Author's Response: I've been writing each chapter every morning, they're only a few thousdand words, so I can usually knock it out in a few hours. ALthough a two hour period of writing only usually has about 45 minutes of actual writing time. kids and all. *grins* Logan's getting ever closer.

OK, ok...we've got the crinkle of the damn picture......let's see it fer cryin' out loud!!!!
(btw..I am such a huge RF fan!!! tickled to find out they influenced what is becoming a fav story!!)
Author's Response: I really like country music, and tend to listen to it while I write. This particular plot line was created the first time I hear Last Call, and then influenced further by each song I commented in the end. Don't worry about that crinkle, it'll be back.
