I apologize in advance that my comments will be brief. The personal "wifi hot spot" that I use at home died yesterday. My ISP provider is sending me a new one, but it might be a few days before it gets here. Until then I'm only able to access the 'net at work, which rather limits my time.
Framework - Like you, I just can't buy that Lois is so helpless and/or dependent on Superman that she can't finish rescuing herself.
Seme - Thanks! It's good to see you're reading along!
Sarah - I'm so glad you're enjoying the story. Thank you!
Michael - You bring up a good point about Lois' flakiness, but I ask you - if you've been obsessing about someone for two years, can you simply turn off the attraction, just like that?
In Lois' case, she feels guilty about having the attraction to Supes but there's also a very good reason
why she feels it. I did laugh at the pregnancy reference. I'm pretty sure she's not, though. :p
Kyla - Hi! Thanks for reading along! I confess, I can't wait to post the reunion. It's what I spend most of my time working on (when I ought to be doing the final polish on the next part). Some things are just more fun to write.
Artemis - Convoluted?
Ann - I think there's a huge difference between flirting with someone and pursuing a relationship. Yes, it's okay to flirt with her and not tell her (although, really, that's what he was semi-subconsciously trying to accomplish with the flirting). Clark's dilemma
is that he feels he can't become deeply involved with Lois unless she knows the truth. I liked the star chart - all my life I've called it the "Big Dipper", but it does look like a plough, too.
Iolanthe - I'm happy to see you're back and I'm thrilled to have made you laugh.
Vicki - Yay! I'm so pleased you liked the flirting (especially the "got lucky" portion). I'm glad that it came through loud and clear that it was Clark who was flirting with her, no matter how he was dressed. Lois' problem was that she wasn't looking for her partner, but at least she still had enough clarity to find his behavior familiar.
Originally, I had the flashbacks in a different order. It went Thursday night makeout session, Friday morning press conference, and then the Tuesday night makeout. Pity my poor betas, who had to mentally jump around and try to figure out what had happened when. It finally seemed so complicated that it was easier/less confusing to make the flashbacks occur in a linear fashion.
My sincere thanks to everyone who's reading along and especially to those of you who have commented. I'm very grateful for the support!
