Whew! This is one long chapter! Here's why; in canon Lois is well known for having trust issues which is one of the reasons why it took so long for her and Clark to get together. Although he is only mentioned once in The Rival, her college boyfriend ended their relationship because of his interest in Linda King. So this chapter introduces my interpretation of Paul Talmadge and his history with Lois during their college days.
