Wow, it's weird to think that this story is finished
Now you can edit it, and send it to the archives, and give Masques a run for its money, length-wise, and be up for a few Kerths next year!
But, um, I wouldn't hold my breath for Best Super Short if I were you
This was a lovely middle-of-the-night/morning-after section. Loved Lois telling Clark he has to stop over-reacting. And that she can call things to a halt part-way through, and he'll be fine with it.
Best line:
“Yeah. Wives can be demanding. Did you know that before, or is this coming as a surprise to you?”
Later today I'll go through and get the file and TOC updated... err, I mean... finished. See, it's weird to even think that! And if you want a copy of my file, feel free to ask, but be aware I've been saving the pg version.
