It's late here, so my FDK won't be particularly well thought out, but I wanted to let you know I'm still reading and very much enjoying this fic.
Going back a few parts, I loved it when Lois was telling Caleb the rules and he said he was glad he didn't work with her. I like this a-little-less-straight-laced Caleb/Clark.
The meeting between Martha and Lois was great - when they met and worked together with him not even being there.
And the end of Part 17 when Superman admits he loves Lois

- though I don't think he planned to actually admit it yet.
Great story!
