Oh, I adore instant gratification! I just caught up with this story last night, and then *poof* a new chapter appears. But now I'm all caught up again, so... *taps toe impatiently* laugh

This was another wonderful part, Laura. I love your Clark, how caring and concerned he is and how he's connecting with Lois in ways he doesn't quite understand yet. I love that Lois is being torn between her assignment and her interest in her "teacher". This is such an integral part of Lois's character, I think, in any incarnation of L&C - the battle she wages between head and heart when it comes to Clark Kent.

I hope you enjoy your trip, and I'll be looking forward to that next part whenever you can get it to us smile
