Oh wow, I'm looking forward to next chapter. And I assume the last line probably came from Scott. I swear I know exactly what Logan's doing. Maddie is safe somewhat replacement for Jean. Even he knows what he feels for her doesn't have any real depth. Hopefully he'll come around soon and come to terms with who he's already set his eyes on.

I have a feeling next chapter Maddie is going to get her feelings hurt. If not, Logan seeing Scott with Ororo might tip him towards 'Ro's direction. It was a good play of having Scott find out that Ororo was the Tory he met in Mexico. I see Scott playing devils advocate to provoke Logan into action.

I see Creed does make an appearance after all and is Ororo's ex. I wonder when the events of how she lost their baby will come out. I'm interested in finding that out as well.

Anyway good chapter lass, Keep 'em coming.

Author's Response: once again, you hit the nail on the head. you always get me and where I am going with a plot before I even unravel it. Scott is in Logan's corner, but also tends to want to worry about him and save him from his self-destructive self. Ororo's past with Victor is still in progress. It will build up more later.

Awwww, i hate these damn cliffhangers!!! GAH! just when it was Getting to the SUper good stuff. 'cause "well... shit" is right! Thanks for helping to make this an even better weekend! thanks!

Author's Response: hee hee hee! sorry for the cliffie. I just ran out of steam. It took me seven thousand words, fer cryin' out loud.

Despite no 'Ro, I liked this chapter. This is the second time where you've given us a dynamic family setting for Logan's family. I can clearly see where Logan and John get their roots from.


“Geez, where did you two get those potty mouths?” Rose insisted.

“Hell if I know,” Jonathan tsked, taking a gulp of his apple juice.

I loved that part. It's interesting (meaning very good) what you did with Rose and Vic's parts. Vic especially, I have to chuckle slightly from the relationship they have in this story. A nice little spin on it.

It's also interesting to note that Logan still can't get what happened in Mexico as well as Ororo's office out of his head.

To be honest I'm greatly anticipating when Ororo and Logan get things settle and he gets to introduce her to his family. That's going to be something to wait for.

Author's Response: I had fun with this. Logan's dad seems like he should be a lot like Logan himself, both family men for the most part, even though Logan is trying to immerse himself in his work and other stuff on his mind. He's a good son, though, underneath his hangups. I'm glad you're enjoying it, Brandon!

Fantastic chapter keep up the good work.

Author's Response: Thanks, Dragon!

I decided to re-read this chapter because a thought occurred to me. I remembered your comment on "sexiness appeal" the Logan in my story has. And I thinking maybe its easier for a male author to make male character have more of a sexy dialogue and female author can dote on their females the same way.

Because the way Ororo was talking to Logan in this chapter, she would make a good number of guys pudding in her hands. ^^

Just a little food for thought.

I still love this chapter though. Its a good springboard for the rest of the story. Because its interesting to see how hot for each other these two were in the first chapter and how they are at each others throats later chapters.

Author's Response: Ororo would turn guys into pudding? Cool. Best compliment for a characterization of a woman I've ever gotten, Brandon! Yes, female writers do dote on their female characters. I'm always afraid I make my men too sensitive or stretch their romantic impulses too far. I think that's why Eyes in the Dark was so much fun to write, Logan's pretty "male" in that one. Those two are still gonna be hot for each other, make no mistake, and they won't know what the heck to do about it.

if only my life was as interesting...

This was funny. Thanks!

Author's Response: My life isn't that interesting, either! Although I did work in insurance for three years, but it just wasn't as exciting, since I was a peon in the Contracts department. I'm glad you got a laugh out of this, Taco.

LOL! i feel bad now,everyone is updating and i got another week. Oh well....

I have to say I might have to kick the AC on because it's getting a bit hot in here. Its amazingly humorous to see the RoLo antics again. Then the nice switch off to the hot and steamy office action. I feel for Logan on this one, getting left high and dry (so to speak) is freaking murder! I'm surprised the guy didn't say "Screw it!" and barricade the door down. I doubt Ro would have complained for too long.

I find it interesting that both of them have a buttoned down conservative business look, that the other hates. And I like the fact they're slowly opening up to each other and becoming more personable, even if there is still a lot of distrust going on.

Anyway nice chapter hon. Can't wait for the next!

Author's Response: it's just as hard for women to "switch it off" like a switch on short notice, too, trust me, even if the proof isn't as "visible." Or painful...ouch. But yeah, Ororo and Logan in business gear, when you think of them as outdoorsy and wild is like dressing up zoo animals in work uniforms and name tags. I want each of them to want to mess the other one up, i.e. for Ororo and James to bring out Tory and Logan in each other, respectively. And I don't know if anyone's noticed, but Logan's short in this one. I like keeping him short in my fic. So it's a big deal for him to still be "taking up space" and crowding her when he's looking up at her. Thanks for the review, man, I love 'em!

Mooooooore. I know i say that every time but i enjoy this story a lot. I need more. The description is always so crisp and sharp. Very entertaining.

Author's Response: Yay! I've entertained Taco! Goodie. I'm glad you liked it. I've spent several years in office environments in boring meetings and training, so this chapter came out of my nightmares. That made it easy to describe.
