Hi Shayne!
Every night it was the same, dreams of gun metal and leather, of the sounds of music playing across the prairie, of cows moving uneasily.
Huh, Loisette?
Metropolis was the entire world. Anything that didn’t fit there wasn’t worth worrying about.
To be fair, I believe Nightfall wouldn’t have fit there, eiter.
LOIS: So? And what good does worrying about an E.L.E.-type asteroid do?
“You honestly can’t be planning to study for this trip,” Jenna said, glancing over at her.
I just realized on the second read: Jenna as in Dan’s Jenna?
Lois shrugged. “If the records had been available online I wouldn’t be going at all.”
So this is contemporary, or at least, very late 90s?
Taking Lucy to New Orleans was going to be a mistake; Lois knew it. If her sister ended up on the Internet, her mother would never let her hear the end of it.

“I’m not here to get drunk and take my clothes off in front of a group of frat boys,” Lois said irritably.

She certainly hadn’t done anything to warrant taking her out of Metropolis to get her out of the way of a stalker boyfriend.
LEX:
It felt a little like selling herself, but her father told her that a pretty face might make a man think a little less clearly.
So, it really is like she’s selling herself? I wonder if she’d be offended if the client were to be more interested in the cattle after all.
In Colorado he was known as King Midas; it was said that he’d never dug a mine that hadn’t struck gold.

If you stopped at Midas, one would think Lex, but now his feat no longer sounds human.
Legend had it that he’d been found in the wilderness by two prospectors as a baby, and that he’d been raised with a pickaxe in his hand.
Yes. It must be Kara Zor-El’s older cousin.
Of course, she’d heard all sort of wild stories about herself that weren’t remotely true, so why should that one be any different?
Fasted gun in the west? Likes the ladies more than the gents? Knows how to saddle a bull?
According to her father, he owned the whole block, and he wasn’t all that much older than she was herself.
Yes. It’s got to be the cousin.
She hoped her father didn’t have any hopes of young Midas falling for her. He undoubtedly was wealthy enough that he could have any women.
MIDAS: …And if you put your daughter in to sweeten the deal, I’ll even up the offer by 15%.
As she turned, it felt as though the breath had left her lungs.
He was the most beautiful man she’d ever seen.
Oh no! It’s Call-Me-Daniel!
Lois gasped as she woke. She was sweating, and somewhere along the line Lucy had taken the wheel. She’d cut off the air conditioning and rolled down the window, but it wasn’t nearly enough.
So, sounds like she’s hot and bothered.
than her last date.
Of course, that hadn’t exactly worked out so well.

Despite herself, Lois couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of excitement. Although Metropolis was the center of the world, coming to New Orleans felt like she was coming home.
I sure hope you will do something with this little gem!
