I told myself I shouldn't have a DependentRouge story so soon after Heal Over. I didn't want people thinking it's the only thing I can do. But after I finished Overlap, I looked through my list and this one had the most half-ideas attached to it. And...Well, I really wanted to. :-) I can't believe I got this chapter done so fast! It must be the fiction gremlin's way of apologizing for how long the last one took.

Thanks go to the wonderful men/women/magical inspiration fairies on Nanowrimo who donated the first and last lines of this fic, which I happily took and twisted. You guys are incredible.

Alright, so things ya'll should probably know...

The chapters following this one will contain much more Rogan-interaction. I promise.

I will never ever ever do a story where Marie and Logan have a platonic relationship. Don't worry/flame me: I'll keep Logan well outside the realm of pedophilia.

I have not forgotten that Marie is from Mississippi. This is AU.

.....Oh lord. There was something else....well, I guess you'll figure it out.

Thank you for clicking on this story! I truly hope you enjoy it and will let me know if you do or not by the end. Happy Reading.
