Nice part. I don't like the Maddy subplot but clearly from all your other tales you dis-believe in the whole concept of someone that age being able to make a go of marriage.

Sadly you are often right. On the other hand much of that is a by product of the current culture. (This from a guy who got married at age 18 and is still married, 32 years later, to the same lady.)

“Okay,” I said. I believed her, but something still was bothering me. I felt like there was more to the story than she had let on.
Oh good some rocks ahead.

“That’s sad,” Maddie said when I told her about my conversation with Lois. “I mean, my parents and I could get along better, but I know they believe in me.”
idiot, needs to learn better than to repeat everything he hears. This will get back to Lois and he will meet an early version of Mad Dog Lane.

on the surface Lana’s behavior seemed bad. It’s never nice to cheat on someone else. Still, though, how much could I expect from her? She was dating a freak. And even if she didn’t know it per se, she must have sensed.
So we have the seeds of a L&C romance planted. At some point Lois will find out about Clark and she will accept him. Nice.
