Ororo walked into the parlor of the Institute carrying her shopping bags. Kitty and Amara had already darted off somewhere, and Ororo had made a mental note to talk to Kitty, something about her had seemed slightly off at the mall. Stashing the bags in her room she smiled and headed towards Logan's room.
"I'm home," she announced knocking on the door. Not her an answer her smile faded slightly as she turned the knob. Hmm, locked, I could easily pick it, but I'm sure Logan has a good reason for locking it, I'll talk to him when he gets home, she decided walking upstairs to her room to find a large bouquet of her favorite flowers sitting on a chair. Their fragrance had filled the room. She smiled as she walked over thinking about how Logan could be such a romantic when he wanted to be. She bent down sniffing the flowers and smiling. Her fingers traced the curves of the vase until she found she the card. Gently pulling it from the bouquet she read it silently.
"'Ro, I won't be home when you get back from shopping, I've had some business come up unexpectedly and will be gone for the next few days. I love you and I'll be thinking of you the entire time I'm forced to be away. Love Logan." Ororo's eyes squinted in confusion, she couldn't figure out what Logan meant by business, but it must have been important for him to just take off like this, especially with all the wedding planning and things they had to do. Sighing she picked up the vase and put it on the corner of the desk, propping the card against the crystal vase. Ororo pulled out her dress again and looked at it her smile returning slighlty. He'll be back in time for the wedding, he wouldn't leave me at the alter, I'm just being silly to worry about it, she tried to convince herself, but she still felt slightly worried that something was wrong, that the beautiful dress she was holding would never be worn as it was intended to be.
