But did it catch up with her knee-jerk reaction to say 'yes' because Clark needs it or because her brain is willing to admit she wants it while her heart his scared senseless.

Sort of.

Here's the quote ...

Rachel retreated down the stairs and out the front door. She turned and looked up at him. "See you soon, Clark," she said affectionately. "Perhaps we could have dinner together once you're settled."

Lois reached for the door handle but said nothing.

"I don't think I'll be ready to socialise much for a while," he said. "Lois says this is going to take some time."

Rachel took a moment to digest that. "Lois, huh?" she said.

Clark nodded firmly. "Lois."
You can't really blame Rachel for making sure.

AntiK I'm glad you like where it's going. The bits I like writing least are just before and just after a big dramatic event.

Thanks, everyone,

Corrina.
