Then praise you shall receive! wink

I enjoyed reading this story. Your take on the revelation was different from any other I have read. Whatever other reaction Lois might have had in other stories -- anger, excitement, embarrassment at not having figured it our on her own, etc. -- she was always surprised, at least initially. You conveyed her overall emotional numbness well enough that her lack of surprise even at such a momentous revelation really works well.

I also like how you used an inanimate object as the axis around which this whole relationship-story revolves.

Well done! smile

Joy,
