Wow....I truly enjoyed reading this story. I loved the family and the drama and how you brought it all full circle. Enjoyed the banter between Ro and Scott and Anna. You did a great job on Emma, making her the b that she is. The duality of Ro captured how many women of color operate on a daily basis. And Kenyatta....oh wow. She was offf the chain. Thanks for sharing a great story that put our fav couple in reallife scenario of dealing with love and race.

damn that was a great story thanks for the read =)

Wow, all I can say is Wow. I like this story because it wasn't melodramatic and it wasn't angst but it stayed very real. It kinda gave me a feeling of when i saw "Soul Food" that family united feel that it gets to it. And coming from a black man's perspective I can recognize a lot of the issues that was dealt with Ororo's mom's initial problems with Logan, I see it all the time. Of course it doesn't always end as pleasantly but its something to be hopeful for.

I also wanted to note that I loved Amelia's character. There are so many older women at my job that act just like her, that I could actually picture her in my mind.

Thanks again for writing such a wonderful story.

Author's Response: I love detailed feedback like this, especially when it holds such nice praise. But thank you. I've been there on both ends of it and I have an interracial marriage. My dad was the one who occasionally complained about my choices, but not as vocally or with as much objection as 'Ro's mom. But the scenes at Thanksgiving could have been my own family's. It's a mess!!! And there are always women at work like that. They're fun to write. Thanks so much for reading and visiting. I love getting male insight for some of my stories. I talk to Chet and Sinjin about them all the time. Good talking to you.

I love this story. I don't know what's gonna happen but it seems amazing!

Author's Response: thanks, Nik! I appreciate the review! ...and sometimes, I don't know what's gonna happen, either.

Ororo meeting Logan's family was a lot like me meeting Lance's family, even this: "Doesn’t matter. I like you. He’d be crazy not to like you, but I’m biased” is so close to what Lance said before I met them I'd swear you were following us ... only they didn't ask what my intentions were lol But... him meeting her family... I'm worried that'll happen. I've already had arguments with my mom and other relatives like that... the second half of this made me cry.

Author's Response: I had a discussion like that with an ex I dated in high school. I got different reactions whenever I met the parents of whomever I dated, including one who refused to introduce me because he knew his father wouldn't approve, which chafed me. The worst experience I had was when that same ex from high school told me his mom once told him "When will you bring home some blond, blue-eyed grandchildren?" Not good. It wasn't just that she said it, but that he repeated it. Ah well, don't cry, or you'll make me cry, too! ;-) Ororo and her mom and Logan and his will patch things up next chapter, don't worry.

okay I take it back. I love you Cee lol I loved this chapter... so cute. I said aww so many times outloud... especially with the flowers... hmm, will have to mention to the bf to send me flowers once I get over there. Now just remind me which Wonder Woman toy you would like the most so I can get it for you.

Author's Response: I liked the idea of Logan's family being kind of silly and old-fashioned, and Logan being old-fashioned, too, with the flowers. And yes, have the BF give you some flowers!!! Any Wonder Woman tidbit is great!!! Let me know if there is something I could paint for you, too, before you leave the country.

Can black women ever have a story where they where hair natural, be it nappy or fine, or whatever? I'm so sick of this weave crap. LOL. There are black women that get men just fine with their natural hair regardless it's texture. Other than that, great story.

Author's Response: Ororo didn't actually have a weave, just more hair braided in...I just thought that having Ororo head to the salon was a nice female bonding opportunity. I also think it is ironic that with her powers in the comics, Ororo's hair should be downright frizzy, if not nappy if its been blowing in the wind and rain all day. I try not to focus on my own hair that much, but I come from a family of women whose first greeting when I come in the door is "what did you use to grease your hair?" It's inevitable... Thanks for reading, Emani. And for visiting!

*sigh* And I've probably already said this one million times, but this story makes me happy. Love happy endings (just don't tell anyone, mmkay?). They make me smile. This was such an excellent story. It'll have me coming back to it over and over again. :)

Author's Response: I'm a sucker for "comprehensive" happy endings. I kinda wanted everyone to have something resembling a happy ending, not just our couple. I can't wait for more updates to Tear You Apart. 'Ro's grandmother has me in stitches, and so did Logan's. Still laughing out loud about the bunny ear song...that was so brilliant, girl.
