Missing Lois - TOC A taste of Chapter 5, Part 2:
“Lois, is that really you, honey?”
“It’s really me, Perry.”
He laughed. “Woo-Woo! He did it! Saints alive, he did it. Where are you, honey?”
“I don’t know for certain, Perry. Someplace safe, apparently, and cold.” She shivered, taking a deep breath. The fire in the fireplace must be dying down.
“You’re not back in Metropolis, yet, then?” He sounded concerned.
“No. He…” She couldn’t say his real name. “He had to fly back to Singapore… the cyclone and all.”
“Lois, honey, is everything alright? You sound funny.”
She never could disguise her feelings from her editor and friend. “Oh, Perry. Please, tell me he isn’t green.”
“In the King’s name, Lois, please tell me you didn’t.”
Lois was crying in earnest, now. “Oh, he is green! I knew he was too perfect to be perfect.”
Thank you to my Beta Readers who have forgotten more about comma placement that I'm sure I ever learned in school. They keep me true to my characters and to the canon. Thank you.
Please post feedback here. Thank you.
