Wow ... what an evil cliffganger! Lois thinks she has a couple of weeks to prepare and help prepare Clark for the outside world; instead, she got handed less than 4 days considering she only gets the call from Scardino on Friday.
The "precarious" conversation was very well written, handled with care, and I am glad that you addressed those issues/concerns about once they get out, they might find other people more attractive and realise the other isn't really what they'd want.
BTW, I'm with Kathy if we could have experienced this story in "real time" with part 23 on Friday, 24 on Saturday and 25 on Sunday
I am also fine the the "big" jump in their relationship - they are running out of time fast!
As always, cannot wait for more
