FEEDBACK: Please?

Logan started up his truck. He'd been on his "walk about" for a little over a week now. Marie was very understanding about it even after the baby came. Sometimes he just had to get out into the world and roam. He grabbed an old tape off the seat and pushed it into the tape player. With a satisfying click it slid home and the "Man in Black" began to sing in a voice rough from cigarettes and whisky. I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

I keep my eyes wide open all the time.

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds

Because you're mine,

I walk the line Logan's baritone made a nice accompaniment to Cash. This song was just perfect. Because Marie had agreed to be his he walked the line and gladly so. I find it very, very easy to be true

I find myself alone when each day is through

Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you

Because you're mine,

I walk the line He had never cheated on Marie and he never would. When he needed solace on the road he could call her or just conjure up her face and voice in his mind's eye. As sure as night is dark and day is light

I keep you on my mind both day and night

And happiness I've known proves that it's right

Because you're mine,

I walk the line He couldn't remember a better time than when Marie became his. Their first baby had just added to that. So much so that though he wandered he found that he didn't feel compelled to so often. He'd spent years trying to control the animal that was Wolverine and Marie had done it for him. You've got a way to keep me on your side

You give me cause for love that I can't hide

For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide

Because you're mine,

I walk the line It was nice to know that someone at home was waiting for him and had his back. He was the protector of his family but still he knew she was the strength the heart of it. Thinking this he picked up the phone on the dash and called her. "Hello" "I just wanted to let you know I love you and the baby. I'll be home soon." -Fin
