I read this a few days ago and naturally got distracted by one of the many domestic emergencies that seem to be completely expected around here :rolleyes: So now I'll leave the feedback -- a little late but better than never.
Excellent story. You got Lois's reactions down perfectly, and Clark's as well. And, as has been said before, I can't see Lois breaking down in front of anyone except Clark. Swearing in front of someone else, hitting something, losing her temper maybe, but not breaking down. That would be something she would resist except in the presence of someone she truly trusted.
