Unlike Terry, I thought the last few paragraphs were beautiful.
Didn't say they weren't beautiful. They were. But, like Robinson, I wonder if that's not a setup to hint that Lois is pregnant, and that is the source of my foreboding. Given the sudden mood swings they're both experiencing and the rapid onset of passion so endemic to a damaged relationship, it's possible. I don't think it would be the best thing for them either, but then I'm not writing this masterpiece. I would've messed it up by now.

Next chapter? Soon, maybe?
