Ditto what cookiesmom said about character interactions and Jerome taking charge. You seem to really have a spot-on sense of an elder, more experienced L&C CK. The same is true for our Lois, I might add, despite not making an appearance in this chapter.
Interesting developments in the timeline...I sure hope this recent development doesn't rob the SR Clark out of his Pulitzer! Plus, none of us really want to see Lois and Richard get married (even though I do like Richard, I still have to root for the home team as it were!).
Please continue to post more soon!
