I need some help. In There's No Place Like Home, Lois and Clark are talking about Dan and Mayson and I have this section:
"Well, Dan’s a great guy. Attentive. Loving. Trustworthy."
"Sounds like a dog I had once," he mumbled under his breath.
"What?" she demanded, an edge creeping into her tone.
"Sounds like a match made in heaven," he said louder.
Now, I can leave it as is. But I'd like to change the 'Sounds like a match made in heaven' to sound a little more like 'Sounds like a dog I had once.' So that it would be a little more likely that Lois might think she had misunderstood him the first time. Any ideas how I could convey that same two, very different ideas while making them sound a little closer (if that made any sense).
