Cute story, Lynn. What gets me is your way with details. First in the dialogue that I won't bother quoting since I'd repeat the whole story.
Then what gets me is the little things that could slip by, but give so much character.
Time to change the subject. Except what should she say? Sorry? She never admitted she was sorry. He wouldn’t know what hit him.
Absolutely. Clark would be soooo surprised.
And then...
The cold water hit her leg and flooded her shoe.
Clark eyed the damage, his arms spread wide with disbelief.
In both cases, the detail gives a very vivid picture without over describing. Little things, like just mentioning that Lois's blouse is silk. Enough to give us a picture.
Loved it, Lynn
