Thanks to everyone who read and commented on this story. It's great that others (besides Lynn) enjoyed it.

Re the message on the plaque. I searched for a saying that would tie in Lynn's love of words with Lois's job as a reporter, and also give a little more foundation for the budding Lois-Clark relationship. I couldn't find anything. I can't completely guarantee that I didn't read it somewhere a long time ago, but AFAIK it's original.

Lynn - I'm so glad my fic added to you having a good birthday. It was a fun fic to write.

Corrina.
