Aw so sad! It took a few turns that I didn't expect. I second what Tank said:
Excellant blending of multiple sources of inspiration.
I like how he put that.
When I visioned them in my head, it often bounced back and forth between the actors that played Lois and Clark in SR and LACTNAOS.
Ellen—because that was just the way she was—was in a hurry, dragging young Lois from one store to the next, and Lois felt bored [...] The doors turned and people poured out, eager, in a hurry—but a different kind. Not in a hurry to get Christmas shopping done, but in a hurry to go and see, to experience, to note, to report.
Cool!
He looks into her eyes, his own shining brightly, and asks, “Do you still love me?”
SO SAD! Yet I feel there will be a rainbow at the end of this dreary rain.
Thanks!
