But you *did* see, I hope, that I had to comment on how I waited for so many years for *Superman* to have a real relationship with Lois, and the Proof series really does show me what that might have been like. I have to say that the Proof series has very much grown on me. It has its own very special kind of fragile loveliness. At first, as you know, I wasn't all that impressed by your decision to abandon nfic - at least temporarily - for a story where Superman demonstrates to Lois that his suit does come *partly* off. But that scene, where Clark - no, make that Superman - is waiting, stock still and breathless, for Lois to partly undress him - it's lovely and poignant and delicately, deliciously, shiveringly erotic. Indeed, the entire story is lovely and fragile like a soap bubble.
I just told you this in an email, Sue. No reason why I can't repeat it here.
