Well, this was just a delightful chapter!
I love how Diddi is turning out to be the person who is bringing Clark back from the brink. Certainly, it's Lois, too, but imaging a future with her right now is too much, too soon. Imaging being a friend to a little boy, however ... especially a little boy who reminds him of himself ... that is not scary at all.
(And I'm delighted that my theory of Clark's reaction to the news that Lois is married--that it takes the pressure off him and encourages him to stay with the tribe--turned out to be correct. Yay!
)
I also love Lois's absolute certainty that she and Kent are meant to be together. It's wonderful and uplifting and satisfying. This Lois is very different from the person she was in Metropolis. She seems so very emotionally healthy ... which makes her even more of what Clark needs in his life.
But now we need to wait a whole 'nother week to get the next chapter. C'mon time, get going.
