Fine part! I found the scene between Clark and the headmistress interesting. Who would have thought that a single father is picked on like that?
Great start for Clark. Couldn't have been any better.
Poor girl! This is the second time Mrs. Anderson calls her Rebecca, and she hasn't told her yet to call her Becca instead. She must be so frightened!
Well, this introduction certainly sums up the rest of the dialogue. How much worse could it have been? This whole backflash touches me deeply.
I don't really get the meaning of this part. Do you want to express that Clark considered Becca a burden? Or that Lily's death is somehow the father's fault? Or are you referring to the dialogue with the dragon?
So he's really, truly smitten. Good.
Oh, and before I forget this one:
Clark is a virgin! Surprise, Lois! (Whenever she'll find out...)
Thanks for sharing!

There was only one answer to that question: he *had* searched for it, unconsciously.
Oh, and before I forget this one:

Lily had discussed sex several times, but it was hard to tell if she was only teasing. She had mentioned sex, granted, but she had never actually tried to seduce him.
