Told you it was long. laugh

Thanks again to Bob, Carol, and Iolanthe for their faithful beta reading, and to all of you for your patience.

For the record, we all owe this story to Queenie, who requested more stories with Lois and Superman together rather than Lois and Clark. Of course it couldn't stay that way, but we had fun with them before Clark finally gave himself away, and even afterward.

Happy

This *is* my happily ever after.
