Hi Corrina,
I always enjoy your stories. This one has me intrigued.
You will probably be addressing this later and I'm sorry if I'm jumping the gun but I would like to know just why Lois stayed. The Lois we all know and love would have stolen a canoe or built a raft and floated down river to get back to civilization. She would never have been content to set up housekeeping in the Congalese jungle.
Help me out here.
