Hi MDS21!
Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment on my story. I'm also from the Chicago area so I know what it is to be snowed in! I hope that the scenes between Lois and Lara at Thanksgiving helped explain what Lois's motivation was back then and how sorry and remorseful she is now for her decision. I hope I showed Lara's journey to forgiveness before that meeting and I also hope that you found them working together to get Clark's ship back believable.
