I'd like to refer to a story in something I'm working on, but I can't find it to ask the original author's permission. It's a vignette from Lois's youth where she and Lucy run away from home, get to a bus or train station, and before she can buy a ticket, a uniformed police officer sits down with them and eventually takes them home. Turns out that the officer was Bill Henderson, who feels responsible for her safety now, and that's why he takes such an interest in Lois's career but doesn't want her to know he remembers her from that time. However, Lois does remember but thinks Henderson doesn't, and their prickly relationship is a cover for both of them to hide their affection for each other from each other (and anyone else who listens to them say more than three words to each other). Can anyone help me find this one?

Hey Terry smile

It's not a vignette - that was part of the backstory in my Don't Be A Stranger, the story Kathy identified above. And, sure, you're welcome to refer to it.

Kathy, thanks for the link. And thanks for getting the information so quickly. That was it!

Wendy, thanks for permission to reference your story. For some reason, that little episode stuck in my mind and just attached itself to Lois's personality. That's why I thought it was a brief vignette. I'll rework my story to match more closely to what you wrote, and I'll certainly credit you. Thanks for the insight into Lois's childhood traumas.

Have to say the networking and sharing that you guys do is awsome.
