Good part, Rachel. It looks like Clark is working through his trauma, and saving the cat might be a larger part of that recovery than Lois has considered.
Loved the part where Lois asks him if he's all right and he asks her if she missed part of their conversation. He's getting better if he can banter with Lois like that. And she's recovering too, even if she's not aware of it.
Now don't disappear like that again! We went through all kinds of withdrawal while you were gone. Next chapter, please? Pretty please with virtual strawberries and cream?
(See, I remembered!)
