mutatismutandisSummary: Rogue ties up loose ends in her life.
Three months in Seattle and seven before that: it's been nearly a year since she's seen him and always, always he looks the same. "What do you want?" she asks. She's proud that her voice sounds steady and strong.
"Coffee." He hitches the legs of his jeans and sits on one of the counter stools, and it's deja vu all over again. "You know how I like it."
She gives him a nod, glad the coffee's fresh because that *is* the way he likes it. Setting a cup in front of him, she stares hard. "That's not what I meant."
"It's all I wanted."
"You're full of it. Do they think you'll have a better shot at getting me to come back?"
He raises an eyebrow. "It's been three months, from what they tell me. You still don't believe they're willing to leave you alone?"
Marie runs away from home all over again, and it's going to take something radical to get her to come back. A lovely, hopeful story that's as much about her psyche as her blooming relationship with Logan.
