My apologies in not replying sooner. It's been a lot harder getting back to work than I had thought it would be.
Amberlea - Speechless? Really? <squeeeeeeee> And you read it twice? <more squeeing> Of course she was driving - it's Lois!
You brought up an interesting point, about Clark trusting Lois. Instinctively, they both trust Flois. But I think both Clarks will realize that Plois is the same person, just a few years younger.
Fuzzy - Thank you! I'm curious to see where I go with it too…
Ann - Yes, it's true, I have an inordinate fondness for hurt/comfort stories. And I've already confessed that this story is based on some of my favorite mental wanderings for the characters.
Elisabeth - Yay! I'm glad you liked it.
James - I'll keep the suggestions that you and Pam have made in mind for the final version. Thanks!
Michael - lol! I reset my short term memory about every five minutes, so I can relate. But your general impression is what I was going for, so yay!
I don't know when part 8 will be up. I didn't do a thing on it last week (even though I said I would). I'm hoping for better things this week. <fingers crossed>
Thanks, you guys!
