Thank you for your lovely FDK!
What a roller coaster ride! Lois's emotions are all over the place (and rightfully so). She hates Clark. She misses Clark. She possibly likes Clark. It's all Clark's fault!
Isn't it always Clark's fault?
I love how Lois discovers through her musings (and waiting for Superman) that she doesn't need LNN, and therefore Lex. She's a terrific writer; she can just go to another newspaper! She doesn't NEED a man to rescue her. Realizing this, it makes perfect sense that she doesn't throw herself at Superman to love her, but to be her friend. She misses Clark, her partner, her friend, and that cute guy she playfully (and securely) can flirt with.
Sometimes, not having something/seeing someone shows us how much we value it...
I also wanted to show that all her certainties are upside down: she has fallen in love with Clark and is friends with Superman...
Seeing Lois vulnerable and miserable about hurting Clark was just the medicine Clark's (Superman's?
) aching heart needed to forgive her harsh words from that afternoon. Of course, admitting that she *could* someday fall for Clark hadn't hurt either.
I'm glad this came through...
A sweet story about the true strength of friendship that it even finds itself through disguises.
Well done! Like Lynn, I believe it's best left up to the reader to fill in what happens next. (Unless your muse has come up with a sequel, then please disregard my words.)
I believe that friendship is also very important for a couple and an excellent foundation for romantic love.
There is a finished sequel in the works, but still in the Beta process... (RL went in the way.)
At first, I didn't intend to write one, but my Muse demanded it. You may disregard it, though.
And if my rusty German was half as good as your English, I would count myself blessed.
I'm pretty sure your German is better than mine (that is, zero nothing nilch.
