Corrina,
I am one of the worst offenders as far as speculating is concerned. In between chapters, I make up whole scenes in my head of what I think might be coming up. My problem is, the scenes the way I imagine them are always dead-ends; they never lead anywhere. :rolleyes:
Remember I had a thought that Clark could fly through the observation window and rescue Lois from Moyne? The only problem was, at that point in the story, they hadn't even spoken to each other. What would he do after he'd rescued her? Drop her off at the nearest corner and fly off alone to hide in some cave? There was no where for the story to go from there. *Your* rescue was *so* much better, and led eventually to a face-to-face meeting and the beginning of a relationship.
So, as I read this chapter, and Lois asked if she could wash his hair, I immediately began imagining that scene playing itself out. But you chose not to go that route. Clark said "no". Now, I have no idea where this will lead. Maybe she'll wash his hair after their squash game; maybe she'll do it tomorrow; maybe never. All I can say is, I have absolute and total faith in you and in your story. I cannot wait to see what you have planned!
Can I confess I already have their squash game played out in my mind? Haha. I'll tell you after reading how close I came.
And I have *no* idea what the deal is with the operation. You've got me totally stumped on that one.
Loving this story!
