I notice that Crystal's post is labelled 1/2. I wonder if perhaps you stole some of her thunder there, Ann. Perhaps part 2 is intended to be Clark's fantasy.

At any rate, this is just lovely. As Labby said, a nice peek into Lois's head, where - just this once - she flings away the rational and practical road for the path not travelled before.

And I'm looking forward to part 2... smile
