Again, thank you all for your brilliant feedback. I'm so blown away that this story has been so well-received!
Sheila, you don't have to wonder much longer — the next chapter will tell you more about what's been going on with Lois and Clark.
Onaleia, thank you so much for your compliments, and for the link to the "Church of Metropolis" script. I hadn't even thought to post that link, so again thank you!
Catherine, thanks for reading and for your comments. I'm so glad you're enjoying this story!
SJH, your comment made me laugh out loud — "one does not step in front of the DH." So true!
Ann, your in-depth feedback blew me away, as usual. And thank you so much for your sharp eyes! I'd read over this chapter so many times before I posted it, I'd read right over the omitted "at." Proof that everyone needs an editor! Seriously, thank you — you've read Mayson's complete trust of Clark and complete distrust of Superman perfectly.
Shadow, thanks for reading, and for commenting! Your reasoning for liking Mayson made me laugh out loud — it's funny and true.
And Dave! Your comment was a lovely surprise. Thank you for the compliments, and yes, girls do think like this. Well, this girl, anyway. I have a running mental monologue eerily similar to Mayson's, as far as the "note to self" bit goes. But ... doesn't everybody?

Also, thanks for the continuity glitch! You're so right, and I hadn't even *thought* about that when I wrote it! Have since changed this chapter a teeny bit to reflect the pre-iPod timeframe. *dons silly hat for all to see*
Seriously, thank you all for your wonderful feedback!
