Hey everyone! Thanks for all the feedback! I'm glad you liked the story.

Ann, thanks for the detailed feedback! I'm glad you liked Lois's antics - I figure she has to be able to best him at something. And it's somewhat of a relief that you liked the parts you quoted. I'm sometimes afraid my writing is too wordy, and I was concerned about those lines in particular. I never thought of it, but it is quite possible that Clark made up some of those rules!

bellarata, I'm glad this fic was good for your mood!

Elisabeth, I thought that was a fitting description of the beginning of their relationship with that kiss. Good to hear that you liked it! By the way, thanks so much to you and Carol for organizing this! I had a lot of fun!

Saskia, I am thrilled that you liked this story! Mission accomplished. smile1

Sara, JD, and Laura, thanks for reading, and I'm glad you liked it!

Bob, I think that description is pretty accurate. I'd love to be able to pull something like that off in real life!

cp33, ugh, I know exactly how the 80 degrees in January feels. We had a few days of that last week ourselves. Unfortunatetly, writing/reading about snow just makes me miss it more!

Michael, see you in a few!

Thanks again, everyone!
