It's so good to hear all this feedback on this story. i have been away from it for awhile, so i had to go back and read it all over to see what a mess i've made of their lives! it's so much fun to write this stuff.
I'm glad the big conversation was believable. I'm afraid that Lois' reputation is going to be a big of a problem, however. I don't know how she's going to manage to salvage it now!! I'll just have to see what comes out of my fingers when they touch the keyboard!
anyway, thanks for the feedback. I'm whale watching in Newfoundland this week and really like touching base with you all from this hotel lobby!
