If I was pressed for time before, let me assure you that things did not get easier when my fridge broke down yesterday. So I'll just say this. Fascinating, DJ! Richard isn't just going to roll over and give Lois up. That thing about moving to Paris - about moving Lois to Paris - and within twenty-four hours, too... well, there's something about that that is just a tad too possessive. Too much "you-are-my-woman-and-you'll-come-with-me". It's not as if I can't sympathize on some level, in view of what Richard has given to Lois (and Jason) over the years, but even so, this was too much. And there was something he said at the end of this that sounded just vaguely threatening:

He clenched his jaw together and she could see the tic working in his cheek. “Be careful, Lois. Be careful that while you’re taking your time trying to make up your mind that someone else doesn’t make it up for you.”
You just made it easier for me to feel less sorry for Richard and hope that Lois will see this threat about - well, carrying her off against her will, separating her from the man she loves (Superman) and dumping her an ocean away - as proof that she can't let Richard rule her life, no matter how much she owes him.

Fascinating, DJ. Bear with me if you will get very little FDK from me for the next one and a half months!
