GroobieLOL...Lana is so catty. I love that she immediately identified the perfume. She should be on the watch out for potential rivals. She captured Gregory so quickly, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to think that his attention could wander away just as fast.
When Arianna and Gregory hatched their nasty plot, he had warned her about wearing heavy perfume, that's how he knew she was there. Lana picked up on it because it was Arianna's signature scent.
It would make sense for anyone to think Daae's attention could wander away from his new bride, but the thrill of their marriage still lingers. He does have feelings for her.
Meanwhile, Lois and Clark are working together and building their relationship over time - certainly laying a much stronger foundation for a future together. Slow and steady wins the race.
So glad you picked up on that! One of my pet peeves with romance novels and movies is that the couple meet, fall in love and get married over the course of weeks or a few months. Really deep love takes place over the course of time and when the couple get to know each other on a deeper level than mere physical attraction which can vanish just as quickly as it appears.
That what I did in this story was draw out the friendship and made Lois a little more approachable. Slow and steady does indeed win the race.
