I was reminded on IRC last night that it's about time I posted part 3.

Laura said:
Poor sad lois, I feel sorry for her. What a mess she is in. I am looking forward to seeing just how she is going to get out of her relationship with Lex and start one with Clark in only 2 more parts!
and Sira echoed:
it's a bit hard to believe you'll manage to wrap this up in two more chapters...
/me points out again that this story is part 1 of a trilogy.. Don't expect everything to be resolved at the end of the next two sections!

Janet puts it more realistically:
I wonder what sort of resolution this part of the trilogy will have in only two more parts? To be a trilogy, the story has to be able to stand alone... has to have at least some kind of ending. I suppose it's too much to ask that Lex have a terrible accident while he's off doing <insert nefarious here> business?
Well, yes, it probably is too much to ask.

As to whether this story can stand alone... well, you can be the judge of that when I've posted part 4!
Anyway, I have another guest due to arrive in the next few minutes, so I can't take as much time as I'd like to reply to you all in detail - not if I'm going to be able to post part 3! So, very quickly:
Laura: thank you for your continuing enthusiasm and feedback!
Tricia: thanks for always making me blush.
Sara: You always manage to pick out quotes and then add something cute or funny or evil, and make me laugh! Thank you!
Simona, I'm glad you can see what being married to Luthor seems to have done to Lois.

And I'm sorry for confusing you with Sira!
Si
ra: thank you too! Glad you're still enjoying!
Roo, you make me blush too! And thank you for picking out the line about the waves - I was in so much doubt about leaving that in, because it seemed to be over-fanciful, even for Lois. <g>
Maria, you really do see Lex as a total and utter villain, don't you? On the other hand, he just might be...

Wait and see!
Glad you got to read this in the end, Julie! I take it Margot finally gave in? <g> And THANK YOU for making the trip to LBP Airport.
SJH: Yup, Lois knows all about lying... I always thought that there were times when she didn't even know herself what the truth was.
Janet: wow. As always, you make me blush with your compliments and you make me think with your insightful feedback. I'm very interested by how many people actually know this stretch of lakeside which I've been describing, and I'm so glad that my writing is evocative of your memories.

As for Lex - evil or not? - and what will happen from here on... read on. <g>
José: what if I don't fix it?
Part 3 very soon!
Wendy
