I loved this! I sometimes find first person present tense a little distracting to read, but you make it work here. Lois's voice is delightful and funny and very much as I imagine it should be. I can't wait to read more, and I'm looking forward to getting caught up on your other stories as well.

Heh. If he knows her so well, why did he miss this?

It's all in the prepositions, Clark. If you can't pay attention, you deserve what you get!

Thanks for a great read. I'm looking forward to the next part smile

Best,
