Once again, I have to say that THIS is my favorite part. I love how Clark gathered the courage to address the huge sitting elephant in the room and that Lois so naturally followed him into it.
The things revealed throughout this conversation were really heartbreaking, revealing the terrible damage Trask did to Clark and the fears he still has entrenched in him. Even with the knowledge that Trask was a liar, it'll take a while for the brainwashing to be reversed--though I'm confident Clark can overcome it!
I love Lois's perception of Clark, especially in the paragraph where she tells him that instead of the bad things, she saw his good points shining through the most. I also really liked how you brought out that it's only been five days since he was released--he's making exceptional progress!
The way the dialogue flowed, and also the way you described Clark's reactions, were very well done, leaving me once more in awe of your writing talents. I adore this story, and I really like where you're going with it.
However, the end...not something I want to see when it'll be a few days before I get the next part.
I hate cliff-hangers, but this is such a good story, I can't help but hold on. Please, send the next part soon! Thanks so much.
