Congratulations Uncle Shayne.
I really liked this section. (Read what James said.)
Lois and Clark needed some time together...a date if you will to get some important stuff cleared up. And Lois is right: Clark needs to talk to someone because he's carrying a heavy burden.
I thought back to the opening parts of the story and it now surprises me that Clark was so "normal" on his date with Lois. None of his hang-ups were evident. (As readers we had no clue that he had major issues.) I wonder if there needs to be something subtle nagging at him about his dating and interest in a woman. (Or was there something subtle that I missed because I was enjoying their interaction so much? Or was it written from Lois's POV?) It's been a while since I read the beginning.
Anyway, help Lois and Clark catch the bad guys and help Clark get over his hang-ups.
gerry
