Hope this isn't too waffy for y'all. I'm trying to set a mood and do some foreshadowing without being too evil. You'll have to tell me if I succeed - and remember, the author's notes stated that this was the most B-plot (romance and warm fuzzies) I've ever put in a Lois & Clark story.

Life isn't a support system for writing. It's the other way around.
