“So?” Lois said after a moment’s silence. “Did you finish your taxes? Are you ready to get serious?”
“Yeah,” he murmured softly, causing her entire body to shiver at the timbre in his voice. “I’m ready.”

Ahhh! PERFECT LINES!!
AND YES, NEEDS A SEQUEL! (sorry all caps, my volume is broken today)
I also love that you gave Cat a happy ending/direction, and that she was there to sort of "direct" Lois!

Eee! Love it! And I just know that Cat knows the secret. She totally knows, right? And yes: sequel!

Great little fic ^_^
Cat is certainly interesting. Part of me wants to like her and sees her potential, but the other part of me is like . . . she's Cat.

Feedback is hard. But I honestly like Cat, especially when she's just so perceptive. Unfortunately there's very few stories with her written that way. I totally think Tracy Scoggins could have been so much more if the writers had let her be. So glad there's fanfic to fix that too, lol.
And wow, I feel like Clark heard their conversation. Looking forward to the sequel!

Yeah, Clark could not help but hear that conversation. In the sequel it will be interesting to know how Ms. Grant got CatCo started. Who provided the seed money? Where was the office located. That sort of thing would give her gravitas and a touch of panache. One thing is certain, she had to say good-bye to furs and frivolous clothing. All that takes money which would be taken up in getting her publishing venture off the ground.
In the series, we were given one brief glimpse of Catherine Grant's apartment and that provided clues into her personality. True, she was a gossip and a party girl, but the art work suggested hidden depths, which sadly the writers did not delve into. Pity.
Good story! Looking forward to the sequel.

Heh. There is a sequel coming for sure. Two sequels now that I think of it. I think this needs to be tryptich from Lois, Clark and then Cat's perspective. I have always thought Cat had SO much potential and it pretty much got ignored, so I was hoping to have some fun with this...

I REALLY liked her character and I wanted to see them flesh her out. There are so many moments where she could have been more than the sum of her parts so to speak so I was always sad to see her go. Thanks!

Thanks! I agree that Cat had SO much potential and sadly it wasn't realised. I LOVE Tracy Scoggins. I think she is fantastic. I wish they had given her more to do. One of my favourite scenes is in the Trask episode when she has Clark in her apartment and she puts on a sweater supposedly as a trick to seduce him, but then we see all these books that are really surprising on her shelf and her art and all sorts of facets of her personality and I wonder how much of it was a trick?
Thanks for reading it!

Thanks! I hadn't planned to delve too much into Cat and CatCo but I might now that I am planning a third story for this lol. And I agree that the writers didn't do nearly enough with her. I definitely don't think that the clothing she wore to work was the only clothing she ever wore. We saw that in the episode where we see her apartment. I think that she had hidden depths that she worked hard to keep hidden and in that way she and Lois were very much alike. Thanks again!

Hi lovetvfan!
Uh huh…

Ooooh …
Oops, bull’s eye!
Yep.
He could also be into people of the male persuasion.
Ooooh, nice segue. And apparently Clark figured out how much tax savings there is when he can tick the box for “married”.
Looking forward to see what you develop in this trilogy!
