Hi Alcyone!
Your comments cracked me up.
Just remember, this was intended as a cliffhanger... wait till we get to the other side.
But thanks. I'm glad I didn't alienate you.

It's funny... I'm positive that most everyone would like to see Lois end up with Clark, but yet I really expected everyone to throw rotten vegetables, their shoes, large household appliances... at me after they read this part. Because they would naturally think I had paired Richard up with Luthor and was letting him try to "off" Superman.
I'll be anxious to see what everyone thinks after the next part. Oh, but it's a cliffhanger too... so maybe those appliances are coming back out again.
Thanks for the fdk!
