What was she wearing? Nightwear? What sort of nightwear?
Hee! I'm so excited she actually went in there and stayed. Again a nice confirmation on her part of the trust she has for Clark. I enjoyed their pillow-talk reminiscing.
But none of that mattered - it had been the best date of her life.
And - she thought with a wry smile - it had finished with her sleeping next to her date.
Love Lois's ability to eek out information from people. She's resourceful in every universe!
That meant he'd been seventy-seven when he'd retired two years ago.
I'm glad you did the math for us b/c I was thinking he was 95. Oops.
Very interesting conversation with Shadbolt. Glad to know as much as possible about the people directly involved with Clark's case.
Another nice moment with Lois and her father.
"This man is different from anyone I've ever met," Lois said. She tried to identify the questions her father would ask if he could. "He's kind, and he's caring, and he's strong, and he has such a good heart. Yes, Dad, it did happen quickly, but I know it is right. When I'm with him, I feel like I'm exactly where I'm meant to be. He makes me feel ... secure ... grounded ... happy. When I'm with him, everything is all right even when it's not." She looked into her dad's eyes. "Does that make any sense?"
His eyelids dropped once.
Lois squeezed his hand. "Thank you, Dad," she said. "Thank you for understanding."
No. Deep inside her, the feeling was strong that Clark didn't have much time.
I have a sinking feeling Clark has until chapter 25/25. I'm hoping that Reuben will be a fountain of knowledge.
I can't wait to see where this goes. Excellent as always! It's a snow day around here, so anytime you want to post the next part... just sayin'
