Seven more parts? Is that all there is left? Wow, no wonder I'm having trouble fitting everything in. wink Glad you're still enjoying, VirginiaR--but of course, I can't answer your questions. laugh

Thanks, mozartmaid--I loved having Lois say that famous line...to Superman, of all people. smile And I'm glad the star-struck metaphor worked; I was afraid people would think it was too over the top.

I love how you brought out what Clark's reaction to Lois's response would be, bendecida82. Since the entire story is through Lois's POV, I really struggle with showing Clark's point. I'm glad it's clear enough to you all (I told my dad that if I wrote all of Clark's POV throughout, it would end up being a completely different story). Thanks for the feedback!

Love the quotes you brought out, scifiJoan. Yes, Lois is coming ever closer to the ultimate revelation--but what exactly is that? wink

Lois doesn't exactly know what Superman would or wouldn't say, Deadly Chakram, since she really didn't know him that long or that well before he 'left'--something that's proving to be a very large problem. cool Thanks for the great comments!

Thanks, EvelynC! It's truly an honor to have my writing described such. blush

Wow, Vicki--it's so cool to see someone getting so involved that they actually go back to previous chapters to quote supporting lines. sloppy Glad the marina/first date combination worked for you--I just couldn't resist. smile And I'm amazed that you got up so early to read it (mornings are the bane of my existence, I think)!

Staying up late for a morning person is definitely enough of a comment all on its own, Lynn! Thanks!

Loved all the discussion on why Clark didn't pick up on the food poisoning in the show. I actually agree with both Lynn and Vicki. He was concentrating more on Lois (it was their almost-first date, after all, and she was the one who pushed it) in the show, and in the story, I think Vicki put it very well.

You caught up, Darth Michael! smile These pictures you left I understood completely, especially the second one. laugh Is it giving something away if I ask what VHF or VLF communication is? blush Loved your response to her and Clark's kiss. Glad you're still reading, even if it is only to find out the answers. :p

Thanks, everyone, for the wonderful feedback! I'm writing the climax now and hope to be done by, at the latest, next weekend. We'll see what my beta-readers say, though. smile
