Finished catching up to this wonderful story.
I was a little worried at the title because your stories more often than not pair Lois/Clark with other people (and your terrific writing style makes it absolutely believable!), but hey it looks that this time all that is in past tense.
That's not to say the journey is simple. This time both our heroes (usually it's just one of them) are skittish.
Looking forward to their blooming friendship, and maybe something more?
