Ann,
I'm sorry, I should have replied much sooner, too.
No one should feel the need to apologize for when they leave feedback. Feedback is optional (and very much appreciated whenever I receive it).
I'm really glad that you liked my little suggestion
For the record, I loved the suggestion. This was one of the major plot holes that I had not decided how to solve and it was so great to get a suggestion that was easy to use and I could assume was believable since both you and Mark (hubby) came up with it separately. Plus, not being complicated science is always good, too. Much easier for me to write.
I liked this part, although it was a little too A-plotty for me to feel inspired to write an emotional, heartfelt review!... I also liked the general "feeling" of this part, and the way that I can feel the obvious "togetherness" between Clark and Lois, the way they belong together, even if they haven't fully realized it yet.
So, I knew this was going to be the case – that the lack of big romantic moments in this part would make it seem a bit flatter than the other parts. But I also felt like it was realistic and necessary. Life is not made up of big romantic moments and Lois and Clark have had several heart-to-hearts in this story now. In my humble opinion, the real romance in life is in the little things, mainly as those tend to be less thought out. By virtue of being less showy, they seem less like they were done in an effort to convince the other person that you care about them and are really just the result of the fact that you do. When I think of the things through out my relationship with my husband that touched me, there are definitely some big things, but it was more the small things that really did it, that really made me feel loved and cherished.
I feel like Lois and Clark need that now – less talking about how they feel and more just showing each other. So, while I would not be so silly as to say there are no more big moments for the two of them, don't expect too many…
