I'll say upfront that the first line had me worried. Clark drunk. I could see a hundred different ways you could take the story and I wasn't sure I would like any of them.

However, you chose something completely different and gave us a wonderful story where Clark's condition changed him in delightful ways.

I think Lois enjoyed glimpsing a side of Clark that he usually keeps well-hidden. I did too.

Setting the story just after Lois's wedding disaster worked really well. Her self-esteem must have taken a battering and she would still be in shock and by giving her a lovely evening with her best friend - a best friend who really needed her - that provided the foundations for such a sweet story.

Great fic, Brenda. I enjoyed every word of it.
