Oh, my! My emotions were all over the place when I read this.
At first, I was anxious when I read about Clark going home after a rescue. Come on! Read the letter already!
Then, as he got the letter and started thinking it was just stuff for his parents, I started getting mad. Why would she send something for your parents and addressed to you, you lunkhead? Just read it!
But then, came the words of Lois's heart. As Clark read the letter, I too cried with him. Wow! You really can put the emotions out there, can't you, Lynnm? You definitely are a great writer!
And Clark falling on his knees and noticing the final sentence: "Save me, Superman. Save me."
At least Clark understood that Lois knows the truth and still wants him, the whole him.
Now, what is this? Him, flying over to Lois's place, not finding her, and just thinking she went to work? And also that maybe he was mistaken, she didn't mean that she knew the truth? Come on, Clark, do you really think a person who wrote that letter would be able to just go to work the next day? Wake up, Superman!
What? He is going home and he is going to wait? Now, I understand his logic that it wouldn't be good for Lois to see him in Superman attire in front of other people, but Clark, you could call her at the Planet (or leave a message) and tell her to meet him somewhere. Although we all know where Lois really is, huh? Of course she is in an airplane at the moment, going to Smallville (via Wichita) to find her soulmate.
Oh, no! Not another rescue! And right now? Couldn't it wait a couple more hours? Or maybe it's good that Clark saw it now, and didn't need to leave in the middle of their reunion. But then, don't let it take that long for him to go home, OK, Lynnm? Maybe just enough time for Lois to arrive at Smallville. You go, girl!
Well, Lynnm, I hope you understood, as you read this, what I went through your post, reading the second part of your story. As you can see, I don't think I can wait that much for the third part.
Please, post ASAP the third part of this entrancing and most wonderfully written story!
