Oh WOW! What a delightful chapter!
From Lois hearing sirens, to Lex accosting her, to Superman protecting Lois, Lois getting increasingly frantic about Clark and finally them connecting what an awesome read! The pace of this chapter was perfect, and kept me on the edge of my seat waiting for whatever is coming next.
I loved how Lois subconsciously recognized Clark's touch in Superman. Or maybe it's her heart that felt it.
The bit about Africa on the ceiling was great. I've seen faces and shapes in water spots and in vinyl flooring that's supposed to look like stone, so that was totally believable to me.
Loved the return to the banter between Lois and Clark at the end.
Sorry for the delay in posting my comments. RL is keeping me busy.
Enjoy your vacation. Hope you are posting part 8 soon.
