I love how Lois' family relates to Clark. Lucy's concern that Clark might have been hurt. James seeing the love between Clark and Lois and wishing he could help. Ellen and Sam valuing his work and honesty.

And I'm so glad to have Lois and Clark get a moment or two together by themselves at the end.

Hoping for that happy ending? Can Clark's ranking be bumped up due to outstanding service? Please? grovel

Great job, DC!

I think we're *all* breathing a little easier with Clark being back home.

Glad you liked how he handled things. He's still very shaken up and terrified, but he's also confident that he's doing what needs to be done.

I liked getting to write Clark interacting with the whole family. He's really been accepted in as "one of them," especially by the "kids." It's like he's a brother or cousin to them, rather than a servant.

I do have a bunch of stuff planned for the final chapter. Stay tuned! smile
