Morgana, thanks for reading along! I know we've both had busy summers, so I really appreciate it!
Sparring partner? Yup, Henderson is the only one of that bunch who can hold his own against Mad Dog Lane!
Darn right! And I just can't resist adding this character to stories! I love their relationship!
Still, if I had a chance to go flying with Superman....
SAME!

I wonder why Clark doesn't create a new persona so he can get at least spend time with Lois without any consequences?
He's working through some things, lol. Glad you picked up on the fact that all wasn't right with him this early on!
Bakasi, I'm so excited for the resurrection. I'm hoping it makes up for the ending of the first half of this story. It's been a lot of fun having Lois fall for Clark when she can't have him. It was a ncie twist to write. Thanks for the comments! I appreciate your following along!
Songbird, aww, thanks so much for sharing your favorite lines. I really like those, too. Thank you for such positive, excited comments! I really loved this story, and it's warming that someone else loves it, too!
Michael, thank you for the thoughtful comments!
So it only made sense that she, the world’s only, unofficial expert on the mind of Lex Luthor, painstakingly took the project on herself.
She could write another biography on Lex. “Lex and I – the almost-wife’s tale”
Didn't some of Hemingway's wives do this?
No matter how creepy or surreal it was to continually retread the tracks of her perfidious paramour.
Wait, she actually slept with Lex?
Nooooo. It's technically incorrect, since paramour also usually indicates an illicit relationship, but I just couldn't resist the alliteration. Maybe I'll update it to make this more correct.
The longer she spent with the man who now only wore the Suit, the more she realized that it was Clark Kent that she’d fallen for.
And she missed him.
Wouldn’t it be awkward if she now broke up with Superman and took up with call-me-Daniel?
I laughed out loud at this. Yes, wildly awkward.
Knowing him, she was guessing that the ‘women’s products’ tag would lead to her diamonds.
Or prostitution.
I wouldn't put it past Lex!
