Well, you did it. You came up with a good, solid explanation for why Lois hadn't intended to go through with the marriage. It makes perfect sense.

But -- and I'm sure you knew there had to be a but in there somewhere -- it doesn't make me like her very much! Who knew she could be that manipulative?

Even though she has now come to her senses, and she has seen and understood the error of her ways, I can't help but think that these two still have issues to resolve before they fly off into the realms of happy-ever-after.

Then again, this is fanfiction, so who really minds about all those reality check type things when there can be happy endings and smoochies?

Oh, yes, and you can add me to the legion of fans for that particular revelation.
