I was sooo excited when I logged on and saw you had posted. Another great part packed with emotion. I could feel their pain and frustration. I could feel Clark's emotions at the dinner just simmering below the surface. I really thought he would erupt.
For me this part summed up so much
"“I know it’s difficult for him to talk about the things that happened…” she began.
“He’s told a great deal of it to me,” Dr. Friskin countered. Lois frowned severely. What was her shrink trying to do, make her jealous? “Why do you think it might be easier for him to talk to me than you?”
“Because you’re a professional?”
“Why was it that you could talk to me and not your own friends or family?” As usual, the good doctor answered a question with a question.
“Because I wouldn’t have been disappointing you if you saw me fall apart,” she said flatly as the epiphany broke over her suddenly. “I wouldn’t have been letting you down.”
That just speaks volumes to the issues. It is something so mnay of us do in real life. Feel like we need to be this perfect spouse, parent, etc.
This story just gets better and better. I am so glad they keep reaffirming their love for one another.
It does seem them living in Metropolis would be a problem until Superman decides to come back.
Clark needs to start writing childrens' books. Jon and Clark worked on that one story.
Keep it coming.
Excellent part!
