Great part. I love the part with Lois and Clark and how the girls have planned this wonderful family time.
I wonder about the chocolates. Has it actually been opened for someone to take the chocolate. Is there a bomb in there.
'Clark stuck his hands in his pockets again; he was attempting to cure himself of the nervous need to play with his 'ghost' finger ... and he was feeling under stress right now. He needed Jim and Lois to believe in him.'
This sentence is so moving - Clark's need to have them believe in him.
I loved this whole chapter
