Thank you all for the wonderful feedback! *hugs FoLCs*

I know, BJ, I know. I tried to get them to tell me what happened next but they refused!

Well, he's not, Lara, but sometimes he is. I know my own husband would probably be thinking about some obscure movie in that situation!

Thank you so much, Kathy! I really was trying to bring out a few very definite ideas, and I'm happy it was successful.

Alcyone, what a beautiful thought; I love it.

A couple things - an alternate pilot story that I've been working on for over a year, and after that, a certain secret agent story that you might remember...

This made me panic a little - suddenly I was worried that maybe all the talk of undressing and breasts was over the line for gfic! In any event, I'm flattered that you think so.

Elisabeth, you've noted exactly what I love about Lois and Clark - they're extraordinary people, but still they're just people with thoughts and emotions and experiences like those of so many others. I'm glad the story felt familiar to you.

Extra thanks for this, Jenn!

A couple of you wondered why Lois felt so badly, and the truth is I didn't actually pin that down. It could be the imminent arrival of trusty Aunt Flo, or it could just be a crap day. I hadn't actually thought about pregnancy, but it could be that, too. In fact, I suppose this story could take place just a few days before In the Still of the Night . Yeah... I totally planned that!

Thanks again, everybody. I'm truly appreciative of all your kind comments. Thank you for reading my story!

Sweet story.

And while I wouldn't be tuning in to a football game,(the SciFi channel is more my speed) I can relate to the lostness he felt as his wife wasn't acting like his wife...

I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to catch up on the boards. So, I opened this and then almost immediately closed it again when I realized it was a post-marriage fic. Generally, that's not my thing.

I'm so glad something made me stay. This was lovely. Not a hint of Superman in this, just pure Lois and Clark being Lois and Clark.

There were parts of this that were funny, like Clark tuning in to the football game, but for the most part, it was simply sweet. It captured one of my favorite parts of marriage. Not the grand gestures, but the little details of everyday that scream "I love you".

And given that this is early in their marriage, Clark's worries that he won't be able to help her seem so very real to me.

My husband is a pretty sensitive guy, and yet, he is often surprised when I will randomly mention something silly that he did months later because it meant so much to me.

Clark always seemed that way to me, too - thinking that if he just saved Lois every time her life was in danger, either as Superman or as Clark, she would see how much he loved her and love him back. And somehow never seeming to really get that when she did fall in love with him, it wasn't for these grand gestures, but for the little things.

This story does such a good job of drawing that out. Clark is doing all these little things for Lois, but is doing them while panicking that he won't be able to help. He has no idea he's already helping until Lois tells him.

Thank you for sharing such a sweet story.
