How will this wrap up in just two little parts?

It was never going to be wrapped up in two *little* parts! Now I'm thinking I need 3 parts. I spent ages this morning trying to find good places for chapter breaks.

I'm glad the parallels were clear.

In a story called 'The Wedding' you want a wedding? Really?

huh

Kate Thanks for taking the time to leave FDK.

I have a feeling that her "Clark, what is your big secret?" is more rhetorical ("What am I going to find out about you someday that's going to derail this amazing relationship?") more than Lois actually sussing out from Clark's intense questioning that he knows Jane's side of things all too well, but you never know.

Could be.

Plus without a wedding, L&C will have more time to hang out together ... but skip the movie, Clark. Apparently now you know that you need to have a really, really, REALLY long talk with Lois before she goes back to Metropolis.

No movies in this story cool

Great questions, Terry. It's amazing that there are so many revelation stories and so many different ways to tell the secret and write the reaction.

Two parallel story tracks. Two similar devastating secrets. Two trusting, loving, and skittish people who don't believe they can trust the person each loves because a secret that changes nothing was kept but which hammers that Ming vase of trust with a pile driver. Two fragile, scared people who carry secrets bigger than a single pair of shoulders should bear.

clap

Jane and Clark? Shane and Lois? Sounds good to me!!

I wonder if Jane's friendship, idol-worship, of Lois was, in a way, a plea for help.

More of Jane later.

Corrina, What gave you the most trouble with this part? It seemed to flow nicely. The end or the pace of Shane/Clark conversation or something entirely else?

When Lois and Clark enter Shane's house, their relationship is about to change, even though they don't know it. My problem was making sure everything was how I wanted it in their relationship before moving onto the next stage of the story. When I tried to write the first half of this part, I realised that the previous part didn't get the job done, so I went back and re-wrote it several times.

Maybe S&J will get a happy ending. Or not. wink

chelo I'm glad the parallels worked. Clark could see Jane's side so clearly, he forgot (super-reporter) Lois was watching him!!

And I agree with what Virginia stated about Shane's history with knowledge of Jane's family. If family is so important to Shane, you'd think that he would have questioned never having met her family before...

I think he would have asked about them. Like Clark, Jane probably became very good as evading topics she didn't want to talk about.

Thanks to everyone for the comments. Again, I'm sorry for the delay. Partly it was due to being unable to decide whether I should split the rest of the story into 2 or 3. Also, the final scene is proving difficult because its mood doesn't line up with my mood at present.

Corrina.
