I think most of us would like to go back in time to some of our difficult moments, to do exactly what Lois did -- help things play out differently, with the knowledge and maturity that several years experience will bring. So go Lois! Clearly this is not how Tempus intended things to go, which only makes it that much more satisfying to her.
Also, to Choucky, thanks for the info that "chou" is also a little cake. I haven't studied French since high school and early college (alas, many years ago!), so I've been enjoying your posts and seeing how much I still understand. In high school French class, I, too, learned that "mon petit chou" meant "my little cabbage", even though it was used like "honey". So it's great to have the information that it's a much more literal interpretation than I ever realized.
