Your ears must've been burning because I was wondering when a new part of your story would post.

Twice a week!
Yea! Clark has a family. I was so worried that they would bring Trask in and ask his side.
Clark is learning a lot. In 4 months, he's not only learned how to read and write, but to realize that he loves it enough to be a journalist. That's some accomplishment.
I'm curious about the "first" Clark, who Martha mentioned. What happened during the adoption process that caused M&J to be so adamently denied adoption rights. Were they given an infant to watch, who died of SIDS in its sleep? And they were blamed for its death?
/pst. You're missing an opening bracket at the beginning of an Italics marker, towards the end of your story/
