Ditto what MaraElaine said!
I have to specifically point out, though, that I always enjoy your way with words so very much. You put lovely images in my mind. And you write a really mean, as in great, dialogue!
I very much enjoyed this Clark-less part, but I'm looking forward to having the lying lunkhead back next time... and maybe seeing him consider the possibility of lying to his could-soon-be-ex-wife a bit less?
Bring on the rest, Marcy!!
