Finally, I get to make a response to this sweet, little story! 
Oh Samuel, the heart wants what the heart wants! If your daughter and Clark love each other, your warning shall simply fall on deaf ears.
This makes perfectly good sense. If the list cannot be written then it most be memorized. He will learn how to read much faster than most folks.
Clark is an artist rather than writer. Really enjoying this new aspect of his personality.
Write on DC! Write on!

Samuel cracked a small smile and put up a hand, stopping Clark's rambling. "You know something, Clark? I like you. You're a good, simple, honest man. Of course I approve of you learning to read and write. I must warn you, however, if I feel like you and my daughter are getting too close..."

From an early age, he'd been forced to memorize everything. He and his parents were simply incapable of writing down lists of things they needed when they were in town. If they wanted to make sure they picked up everything they needed without having to make a second, long trip into town, they would have to remember it the first time. As a result, the three of them had trained their minds as much as the hard farm work had trained and strengthened their bodies.

Trying out his new knives, he soon had the rough shape of a trout in his hands. He set it on the mantle and put away the knives when he was done for the night. The wood shavings he'd created were carefully swept up and thrown on the fire, since there was no use in wasting perfectly usable wood. Then he went to bed, visions of Lois dancing through his dreams.

Oh, sorry, I read this on my phone while out of town and forgot to comment when I got home to my computer. Love the story...keep it coming!
I enjoy the relationship between Lois and Lucy - they seem closer than they were in the series. Yeah, it's that obvious, Lois.
Lois and Clark certainly are playing with fire. All that time alone in his room...rumors are bound to fly! Oh, sure, it's all innocent...just reading and carving wood. I remember back when I was 17 and my boyfriend and I were in my room. My mom came home early from the store while we were in the middle of....oh, sorry, this story is not for this side of the boards! There is a whole nfic version running through my head when I read this story, whether you actually wrote it or not! LOL

Pretty much, but luckily for him, Clark is an honorable guy.

Exactly!

Thanks! I thought it was a fun reversal. We're so using to Clark the writer, that Clark the illiterate, talented woodcarver was a neat idea to explore.

My reading is almost strictly on my phone these days and I often forget to comment by the time the kids fall asleep at night. (Naps appear to be a thing of the past - yikes!)
I did try to make Lois and Lucy a bit closer than canon - after all, they really only have each other.
Lois is definitely the bolder one and playing with fire more than Clark. He's an honorable guy. Lois, while she won't exactly seduce him, will be the one to make any moves. However, I'm never one to tell anyone not to let their thoughts wander where they will.

Ahh--I have missed this story!!!
We were away on vacation last week and just got back late this weekend. This week has been full of catching up 'life', but to get a break and dive into this story? Simply wonderful
.
I can't say enough how I love the feel of this piece. I love the imagery, and your way with the characters. You've created such a wonderful world for them to live, play, and fall in love in.
I am so very much looking forward to more of these later evening reading sessions. I can just see as each evening progresses, Lois and Clark falling deeper and deeper for each other. Based on their situation, it seems like Lois is the only one that can really make a move. And I am so looking forward to watching her do so !
Loving this, DC--great job!!!

Thanks for the feedback - glad you are enjoying the story!
Vacation sounds like fun!
I'm glad you like how "different" this is, rather than the usual L&C fare out there. I love that I was able to so drastically alter them and put them into a tough situation - to love one another but know it's not realistic.
There will be more "evening" moments between the two - promise!
