Yes, I think you did clarify things... and it's clear that they need time.

One nitpick on the diary... I was hoping for a bit more insight into what Clark went through-- at least that seemed to be the build-up.
The 'build-up' I'm referring to from part 12:
And you said she read them for two hours-- I don't know, maybe I was just hoping for a little more dirt.

But I did like this:
I thought it was quite telling of how they belong together, but were separated... simple, but clear.

I love your descriptions of Clark -- the white boxers--my oh my!

Keep the parts coming -- it will be interesting to see how they heal the wounds of the past.

I'm not sure that I agree with Clark and his conscience. He made a mistake, left for 6 years and missed so much, then got another chance to make things right with Lois and now--caution?? Lois needs to just take the lead on this one!!

Clark is really torn in two directions. He flirts shamelessly with Lois and then pulls away. Who is skittish now?

But, hey, that is how LnC fics usually unfold - the big, big union (in every sense of the word) can't happen too definitely too soon!

yay ... so glad you posted today And another great part and thanks also for clarifying things - though I agreed with Michael in the previous post regarding Clark not cheating, but kind of cheating.

Looking forward to part 14!

Just started reading this one and got caught up. I really enjoyed this part and am eagerly waiting for more.

Wow. /goes getting a knife for cutting the sexual tension between them/

The diaries were a nice touch and Clark got to spend quality time with his son Michael
