I'm no fool; I know that Rogue had a life before she met me in this timeline. It kills me to think about it, but I never met her in Laughlin City all those years ago like I should have. I was never a part of her life until I jumped into this timeline a few months ago, and by then she was already 'carrying different baggage', as the Professor would say.
Maybe she had a relationship with LeBeau. Maybe she even loved him. The thought makes me grip the steering wheel tighter, and I struggle to tamp down the possessiveness that flares up inside of me. No, I can't expect to be the only man she's ever been with, but if she still has feelings for him...
Finally, I can't hold it in any more and break the silence. "When are you going to tell me who this Remy LeBeau is to you?"
