Wow. I'm in awe of how completely marvelous this story was, Wendy. The first person perspective you used was perfect for this, and you portrayed both Lois and Clark so believably. I loved every word.  What's next?  Vicki (who has a birthday coming up in June, so start planning now...  )

Awww... nice. As much as I wanted to bang their heads together, their doubts and worries and emotional cowardice were very much in character for both of them. Thanks for putting them out of my misery And I was very impressed at your use of first-person all the way through. Very well done. PJ

Aww, what a wonderful story! If there's ever a need for a melting goo smilie, this is it. I love the introspection and how both of them wanted to go after the other. And the ending! *melt*

Awwww! Very Very Cute. I loved the internal emotional arguments they were having with themselves and the revelation at the end. Well done.

Awwww, Wendy, that was so sweet and wonderful!!! They're both so cute when they're cowards. I’m an idiot. Worse, I’m verging on a stalker! I need to go home. Jill

Awww!!
Wonderful, Wendy!!!
Loved all the internal battles, each wanting more from the other and so afraid to be the first to burst the friendship bubble!
Loved the kisses and the blissful blanks in memory!
It was perfect the way you ended it also -- quiet happy revelation...
Fantastic!!!!

Hi, Great story.

Don't like Luthor, unfinished, untitled and crossover story, and people that promises and don't deliver. I'm getting choosy with age.

AWWWWWWWWWWWW!  ). And just so, so, WAFFY! I enjoyed the alternating first person -- it really let us inside their heads. That's a very difficult perspective to do effectively, but you certainly did! Thank you for this beautiful fic! 
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

Absolutely wonderful! I adored it. Normally I'm not a fan of first person narrative, but I think this was one of those rare stories that was better because of it. I don't think that without the first-person narrative we would have been able to truly understand how nervous and torn both of them were. I felt so bad for Clark when he was sitting outside, unable to work up the energy to walk away. And I was so happy for them when they finally made it inside together.
It was great, Wendy. I loved it.

Aw Wendy that was sweeter then a Flake! And so are you<g> What a sweet beautiful little story. Ah if the feeling of a first kiss could be verbalized, I think this little story would do it justice. Laura

So am I a diabetic - and I loved it! Why don't we form a diabetic FoLCs mini-group? That way we can have mutual support when such sweet fics come out... LOL
Good work, and please write something (long or short, sweet or angsty, I don't care!) soon...
