Woohoo! Update. Its such a double edged sword because I want to read ASAP, but then that means that I have to wait even longer for the next one.
"Yes," she said urgently. "A fork."
Has he been eating everything with his hands up to the point? I suppose so, poor guy.
Giving him candy definitely crossed the line.
But luckily Lois has her new plan of pretense, lying, detachment, and subterfuge so it's ok!
I'm so glad she convinced herself that to go in there sans rod after he supported her that morning. I enjoyed Lois's inner thoughts throughout.
Yay for tea and chocolate rewarded with a smile. Just how long is his beard now anyway? 7 years is a lot of facial hair. I guess trimming it was not a priority for Trask. If Lois is struggling for objectivity now, just wait until Clark has a shave and a hair cut.
Thrilled to see Clark's POV.
Suddenly, from a place of no hope, there was hope.
From a place of abject terror, there was mercy.
From a place of dread, there was compassion.
From a place of darkness, there was light.
And it was because of her.
It *was* her.
*melts into a puddle* Sorry that Clark now will fret about the possibility that Lois could leave. It brings to mind how far he's come in the short time she's been there and how on earth did he manage to survive *7 years!* like he did.
I wondered if he and how he was going to respond to her nightmare. Very nice use of his newspaper. Sad to see him worry that he was the source of the bad dream
"After our visit, I'm going shopping, Dad. I'll buy you some new clothes.
Methinks the prisoner will be getting something new as well!
Nice to see Lois's progress with her father as well.
Now how on earth to survive until the next update?!?!
