AnnieM,
What a great story! Bravo! I didn't read it in parts so I was able to savor the story from start to finish. Speaking of which, I found myself watching the page count with sadness as I read more and more as I was coming to the end way too soon. I'm so glad to hear that there are two more stories coming as I can't wait to see what happens next. I found that while Lois is still a driven person she, in your universe, is also much more open to having a relationship with someone she is VERY attracted to. While she approached their relationship with caution she, ultimately, fell under Clark's spell. I also loved how you were able to weave lines from the show into your story under different circumstances that fit nonetheless. The romance was well done. You portrayed the attraction and passion with sensitivity but also with emotional depth. I was rooting for Lois to want to see Clark more and as such, I was very pleased when Lois expressed her desire to see more of him too. Workaholic Lois was certainly absent during that weekend in Smallville. Speaking of Smallville, the scenes with Lana and her family were great. They showed how much the townspeople were rooting for Clark and his girl, especially Lana. She so wants her friend to find the kind of relationship she has with Pete. I was heartened when Lois told Clark that she believed that people on other planets would probably be like them which made Clark very happy. My only disappointment was that with an opening like she gave him he didn't tell her about himself but I suppose that would be too much to ask. Thank you and your coauthor for writing such a wonderful opening to the trilogy and I can hardly wait to read Book Two!
