Well, you pretty much already know what I think of this part. My heart is broken, having been ripped out, chewed up and stomped on. *sigh* I really am not in the condition to even be up right now, what with the weak heart and all. But, alas, if the muse needs feedback to deliver the rest, then so be it. And since I'm rare form today... must be Tuesday... you get "reflective babbling" feedback as opposed to the usual "comment as I go" feedback. Enjoy, oh thou who art so evil!
There was so much he’d miss about working with Lois. Her acute intellect. Her sharp wit. Her sudden flashes of inspiration. The way she could piece together seemingly-disparate clues and come up with a solution out of nowhere. Her habit of reaching and arriving at bizarre conclusions, some of which actually happened to be dead right.
This section of introspection is just heartbreaking! And that wording... "dead right"...

)
