I almost didn't read this, Annie, since you said the reader would be lost without having read your previous fics. Since I'm so behind I haven't yet done so, I was ready to give this one a miss. Then I decided to go for it.
Good thing, too, because you did a perfectly fine job of recapping the first two stories with Clark's musings. A lovely little story, Annie, and I'm glad I read it.
