Thank you for your very kind comments, everyone!
Thanks for your very nice feedback, Kathy. I'm glad you're enjoying the story and I agree that the pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect can be intense and not very productive. With any luck, these two will see that.
Hi Ann. Thanks for bringing up that point regarding PTSD - it's so hard not to be in control that we find ways, even irrational ones, to show that we have some control over our lives and the things that happen to us. I think it's harder for Clark than most to feel incapable, but he has to find a way to not blame himself for the things that happened on New Krypton.
Thanks for your comments, Michael. I'm glad you enjoyed the dinner scene. It was actually a rather tough scene to write. I wanted tension, but it was hard trying to find the balance between having the Lanes be difficult and confrontational and just making them irredeemable.
Cookiesmom and Flowerpot, more is on the way!
BJ, thanks for your very thoughtful comments. I know the interrupted discussion was frustration, but this was a part just full of turnabout for LnC. As you mentioned, when Lois was Clark's boss on the show, it didn't go very well. And Clark was constantly leaving Lois in the lurch to respond to cries for help.
More is on the way!
Regards,
Rac
