This was a well-written, interesting chapter. My initial feedback included several quotes along with analysis. But, I decided you are probably too busy to read all of that!
So, let me sum it up . What stood out in this chapter is your ability to deal with very complex emotions from various aspects of the character’s personality (i.e., Mad Dog Lane, loving Lois, etc).
Although the conversation back in the apartment was very intense, and could easily have exploded; it seemed healthy and needed to deal with the issues that are impacting their relationship.
We are always looking for a quick fix! It feels like you are compelling us to deal with serious problems in a real-life way rather than the unrealistic storybook approach which doesn’t deliver sustaining results.
This reader actually feels pretty good about the progress Lois and Clark made in this part. Looking forward to more.
