A perfect Christmas morning story. Thanks for posting it when you did.
I was kind of surprised that they fell back into the 'friend' relationship. Always thought the secret and its ancillary stuff (always leaving, dumb excuses) was the biggest thing keeping them apart. I see why you did it. You wanted to give Martha a role in getting them really together. Lois and Clark, two of the bravest, strongest people, still afraid of taking the risk of love.
I look forward to the next installment next week.
Merry Christmas
Mike
