Paul yours was the second one I read.
Very well done. A nice parable, as it were. It was very Lois. I can see her making those kind of connections as a young impressional child, yet holding on to her determination until she came to the 'epiphany' on her own.
The funny thing is that, a while back I considered writing a vignette where Lois used the idea of allowing Clark to cut her hair as a measure of her trust in him. I never really worked out the details in my mind enough to actually get to the point of writing it. Now that I've seen your story I'm glad I never wrote mine. Your story works very well.
I don't know who should be more afraid that we came up with similar ideas; you, me, or the gentle readers.
