Thank you very much, Gerry!
Yeah, I realised while I was reading Blind Spots that we'd both stumbled on the same issue as a source of conflict in our stories. Well, you know what they say: great minds and all that...
I should add, by the way, that my heart sank when I read a later section of Blind Spots, because you have another little development which occurs in my current long WIP. The stories are very different, as is the way this particular development turns out, but I wanted to alert you in case you read the story when it's posted and notice the similarity.
I'm glad you liked the explanation for Lois accepting Lex's proposal. I've come up with other explanations in the past - after all, it was such an out-of-character thing for Lois to do, which means that it's fun trying to find reasonable explanations for it - and I think I like this one most. Well, at least for now!
Thanks again!
Wendy
