Elizabeth I'm glad you liked the proposal and the preview.
Virginia Wow! He REALLY likes her. Two days and he already bought her a ring.
This is 'Highway' - things happen fast!
Joy Well spotted. One of the great things about writing for a fandom is that the readers can see what I'm alluding to without me having to spell it out.
Mel Like Lois, I am hoping that the progress he has made as "new Clark" will prevent a backslide.
She's pinning all of her hopes on that.
Kathy I really glad you felt this chapter delivered. These parts are supposed to be the recompense for all the horror and pain of the earlier parts.
Interesting point about Clark's two personalities.
Laura Ok so it looks as if we may be going soon into the naughty side.
You have a delightful way of expressing things. I still smile over 'front happenings'. If I ever slip that into a fic, I'll credit you with it
DW Wow, but things are progressing fast!
This is a highway.
MM A beach, a proposal, a hot body, a low-cut dress ... and separate rooms.

*Something* needs to be done about that!
Jackie I hope you had a nice vacation.
Lois's answer is already posted!
Vicki Nice speculation. You're right, this could go a lot of ways.
Emily Earth-shattering - uhmm - well, it *was* the asteroid that took his memories, so ...
Thanks so much for all the comments!
Corrina.
