Lovely part smile If I tried to quote what parts made me smile at this point though I'd probably quote the whole darned thing so let me just point out:

Quote
“Are you going to stay here at the clinic tonight?” she asked. “What’s left of it, anyway.”
Maybe I'm tired but I read this as "what's left of the clinic" not "what's left of the night." At first I was trying to figure out when the place got blown up :p

Oh yeah and GO LOIS for wanting to get in on some reporting action again smile It's nice to see her recovering so well.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
