This is so sweet and lovely. Clark is feeling so extremely low. He hears that it is Lois who is coming, but
But from this nadir, things soon turn very sweet. These two people are meant to be so very close. And just look at this:
The intimacy - yes, indeed. When Lois tells him that she will never reveal his secret he is so relieved - not because he ever thought she would do that, but because he feared she was bringing him bad news about their relationship. When that is not the case, Clark starts touching her:
And now Lois responds:

Well, that was about as far as we got between Lois and Clark here, intimacy-wise. But really, it was so sweet, and it was just a prequel! I'm looking forward to a lot more love and WAFFiness in you upcoming story!

Your story flows so lyrically. I really enjoy your writing style and your plot development.

Excellent story, and now I look forward to 'endearment'.

I'm enjoying where this is going. Keep it coming.

Thank you, Ann, I couldn't give better FDK! You already said it all.

Lovely and poignant and WAFFy. Keep posting, Editor!

Hi,

Sound interesting!

First off, Ann, you completely spoil me with such in-depth FDK! Thank you so much -- and you're right, I think we're venturing into WAFFy territory. Maybe my Lois and Clark deserve it, after getting through "Estrangement" (relatively) unscathed!

Also:
Thank you so much, L and Ursie! The compliments I've gotten on my writing have just left me stunned!

And, Sheila and Maria, don't worry -- I'll keep posting. Thank you all for reading, and for your comments!
