Thanks Artemis for the kind words and the encouragement. I get nervous because when I read my own work I’m so close to it that I often can’t tell if it’s good or not. I expect (hope?) that gets better with time.
anonpip: Thank you very much. A certain level on innocent cluelessness seems to be a natural fit for Clark. For me, Clark is easy. But Lois, I’m always struggling on what she’s going to be thinking.
Throughout this piece I was continuously asking the fabulous Beverly if one thing or another seemed reasonable for her thoughts and reactions.
James: I showed TFB (The Fabulous Beverly) your note. I think I owe you for this one. This whole series was an experiment to see what would happen if I just let the “hopeless romantic” guide the way. I did post just such a warning at the top of part one.
I hadn't thought before about the title of part to as being MADS. Your DADS is interesting and now I find such things as BADS, FADS and other silly acronyms filling my head.
