Thank you!!
Ann - I assure you - this Lois is completely devoted to Chad and I can't imagine her ever cheating on him. I have to say, it's not so much that I can never sympathize with adulters, but I have trouble with it, so I don't think I could ever write a story where people cheat on someone they love as it would be hard to get inside their head. I can't even imagine writing a story where someone cheated on someone they no longer loved. Even then I don't understand - why not end the relationship rather than destroying it with such a huge offense?
I'm glad that the Chad idolizing Superman thing worked. I was a little afraid that people would start questioning Chad's motives, but he isn't evil or out to get Superman. Just curious.
Thanks about the pretzel scene. I was eating chocolate covered pretzels as I wrote it and I could so see Lois eating a bag all afternoon and not realizing it. (Maybe because I could see myself doing the same thing, and I'm not half the chocolate fan Lois is. I only eat them by pouring a few out so I can't eat the whole bag at a time.)
Sara - As Kelly has said, very soon. I think she might make an appearance in the next part. Since this story is first person Lois, and Rachel doesn't live in town, we do see much less of her, but she'll be around a fair amount considering how far away she lives.
grinch - Clark did say Lois could tell Chad his secret, but he was clearly uncomfortable with it. So the compromise they came up with was Clark becoming frineds with Chad so he would feel comfortable sharing his secret with him eventually.
Lois and Chad have been married a little less than five years. This chapter ended in November 1993 and Lois and Chad celebrate their fifth anniversary in March 1994.
A double date? I'm not sure what the answer to that is. I guess, I'd say no, but I'm not sure everyone would agree. Chad and Lois invite Clark and Rachel over for dinner when she visits. Does that count as a double date?
