Sara - what a neat twist on this whole premise. Of course Perry would feel devastated when he believed Clark to be dead. Wonderful!
I feel so bad for him about the guilt he is going through, thinking he should have done more to get those two together. And also like that from the sidelines he had a clear picture of the two of them - that Clark loved Lois and that she was softening from his influence.
Very nice story. I really enjoyed it.
