Feedback: It is a must to satisfy the fan fic goddess.

Logan walked out of the mansion and into the gardens. There was a dusting of snow on the ground and it crunched underneath his feet as he made the trek to the lake. Marie's favorite spot. As he got to the frozen lake, she was all he could think about. Her face, her eyes, her touch. He sighed heavily and watched his breath disappear into the chilly West Chester air. *Dammit, I wish you'd come back, Marie* he thought *this waiting game's killin' me*. He stood near the edge of the frozen lake and looked out over the water.
One More Day
One More Time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
It'd leave me wishing still for one more day with you
He remembered the night before she left him. The passion they shared and just lying there with her, tracing the outline of her face with a gloved hand and holding her against him.
First thing I'd do is pray for time to halt
I'd unplug the telephone
And leave the tv off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love yous
That's what I'd do with one more day with you
He shook his head. He knew in his heart, she'd be back some day soon. But it was killing him to not know when. Perhaps Jubes got another letter today, he said to himself as he head back towards the mansion. As he walked back to the mansion. He saw an 18 wheeler slow down and pull off near the front gates. This was odd, so he went to investigate. As soon as he saw the passenger side door open, he stopped dead in his tracks. "Marie?" he quietly said. As the girl turned around he yelled "MARIE!" and he took off running toward the gate. "Logan!" she gasped as she jumped down and ran to him. He hit the button for the gates and as they opened, Marie squeezed between them to run into her lover's arms. They approached each other and stopped then grabbed onto each other and held on for dear life. "Marie", Logan held back tears, "my god, Marie, how I've missed you".
"Ah've missed YOU, Logan", she said through her tears. "Not a day went by that Ah didn't think about you", she looked up into his eyes, "Logan, Ah'm sorry. Ah'll never leave again, Ah promise. Ah'm gonna stay here forever. I love you". Logan looked into her eyes then kissed her. "I love you too, darlin'", he said as he kissed her again. From the windows of the rec room, Jubilee and Kitty watched the whole encounter. "That's so beautiful", Kitty said, "Jubes, are you crying?"
"Eh, *no*", she said as she choked back tears and rubbed her eyes. "Damn contacts", she said as she quickly walked away as Kitty chuckled and continued watching Logan and Marie through the window.
