Kissing Marie is good but she'll still be mad as hell for not telling her.

Author's Response: Still yup. ;-) Even madder now!

Nooooo….not enough, just getting in to it and it stops! Love your guarantee though so I’ll be holding you to that and impatience at your posting is fine by me! ‘I'm actually writing faster than expected, so if y'all promise not to be stingy with reviews, I'll try to update twice a week if I can’ again fine by me – you post it, we’ll review it x

Was laughing my socks off at the roadside attractions which people obviously [For some reason I can’t fathom] actually visit! We have the real Stonehenge for those who want to stare at a bunch of rocks and these days you have to pay just to see them from a distance – If Missouri wants em they can have em, though maybe we should keep them as I don’t think we have any giant fruit or veg to compensate, though we do have quite a few giant chalk hillside carvings of figures and horses and no I don’t have a clue why!

Great set up – liked Logan’s observations and assumptions at the start, then we had Marie’s suspicions, Logan’s concern, mutual attraction - all the bases covered! Loved the text messages, I foresee the shit hitting the fan there ;) and in your words I think that means ‘Goddamn messy’ !!

Loving it so far, keep up the good work x

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, the roadside attractions thing was two-fold -- I didn't want Logan and Marie to get to New York too fast, and also it was inspired by a trip I took with my college roommate to look at graduate schools, where we did that exact thing. We even went to a pecan farm, although sadly the World's Largest Pecan doesn't actually appear to be on one, I took artistic license there! I'm glad the beginning worked. It seemed artificial to me to have Logan just thinking, "Hey, I'm suddenly attracted to Marie!" but I really wanted to keep things moving along, and showing their attraction grow slowly over days and days just seemed like...a lot of work. ;-)

Oh, BTW, I'm glad that you said that you're impatient to post because I'm impatient to read more! ;) What can I say? I'm hooked!

Author's Response: Well, then I'm posting early again just for you!

Wow, what a sweet chapter! I really love the connection they have with each other. Logan definitely has it bad for her. I'm glad that he told Xavier that he needs to tell her and I love how he corrected Xavier by stating again that her name is Marie when Xavier referred to her as the "target". I really love how he cares about her and is protective of her--how it disturbed him that someone tried to hurt her and how he wished he could have been there to stop it. The kiss and the "worth the risk" line were so sweet and perfect! I can't wait for your next post.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you're liking it, and that the attraction is coming across. And that you caught the reason Logan no longer wants to call her the "target." :-D

Me likes. Me *LOVES* it!

This story is sooo good. I like the way Logan acts around Marie, the way he feels so attracted to her.

I canīt wait to know what happened to her in the past, and of course, I canīt wait to see a protective Logan.

Keep going! This is very good. If reviews make you update this fanfic sooner I will write a daily review. xD

Desperate much? Damn right!

Author's Response: Aw, I'm so glad you're liking it. Yeah, I had a lot of trouble with the beginning of this chapter, it seemed lazy to have Logan just thinking, "Hey, I'm attracted to Marie now!" but I didn't want to make the reader go through a different million events where he slowly realizes it. Next chapter will answer all your questions about the past, I think. Thanks so much for your reviews! Considering I had no idea where this fic was going at first (or actually a lot of times in the middle), it's actually going really quickly. I just finished chapter 8, and I'm not very patient, so I should be updating every few days or so. ;-)

Oh I am worried that there will be several F*yous from Logan for Charles before this is all over. Charles needs to pay more attention to what Logan is not saying. The kiss was beautiful.

Author's Response: Yeah. Maybe I was a little influenced by Sahara's wonderful story, where she points out how oblivious Xavier can be when he can't use his telepathy. And just his luck, both Marie and Logan are "immune."

"But some things are worth the risk."

Gosh, I love that line! What a great little chapter! :)

Author's Response: :-D Thanks so much -- so glad you liked it.

Oh, I can see that heartbreak coming. :( The windup is actually excruciating, which means you're doing a damned good job. I eagerly await the next chapter.

Author's Response: Yeah. There's a whole lotta pain coming down the road for both Marie and Logan. What can I say, I love the angst! ;-) Next two chapters are big ones, I can't wait to post them!

Awwww. So sweet. There's something about your tone in this (chapter in particular, and story in general) that is very gentle and warm. You captured that warm, blissful feeling of a warm car and relaxed company perfectly.

One small niggle - "He was built for stealth, not subterfuge." Are they not the same thing?

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the compliment. I love warm cars and roadtrips, so hopefully that's what came across. To me, subterfuge is trickery, deception, strategems, that kind of thing. Logan's M.O. is to go in quiet, do the job, and get out -- stealth. The way this mission is playing out with the lying and manipulation to me is subterfuge, and he's not cut out for it.
