I was going to say just what Tricia said, but she beat me to it!

Clark's re-telling of the story to date was so well-written! thumbsup I'm not sure quite how to put this, but sometimes, if a character explains too much, it can seem obvious that this is really the author explaining for the sake of the reader. Does that make sense? Anyway, you had Clark tell Lois exactly what Clark really would tell Lois, and it reads very natural, honest, and true.

Great story, Nan. Looking forward to reading more...
