Short is definitely okay when a part is this sweet! I'm so glad we got to see more of Sara - sounds like she just might be the bridge Clark needs to get his whole life back from the in-between point he's at currently.
I loved how the setting reflected each of their current emotional states.

Jenni, that is such a charming, touching chapter. Clark's quiet gentle strength and support was what Sara needed as it seemed to help Clark as well.
Really a beautifully written chapter.

She took Clark's hand and started pulling him along the boardwalk. He couldn't help but concede, while thinking she reminded him of a wild silkie from a Celtic legend, so unlike his customarily gentle daughter. A wild silkie! How absolutely beautiful! I love when Scottish lore creeps into your fics, Jenni! And like the others have said, all of this chapter was aboslutely beautiful. I, too, was glad to see more of Sara. I loved how Clark was able to reach her and make her understand, and I loved how she could explain to him about his powers, too! Ann

This part took the time out to show us a very tender side of Clark, and one that isn't explored all that often around here... the part of being not Superman, and not even Clark, but of being a loving, understanding, and caring father... a real dad.
I think this 'break' from the A plot is well placed... and brings back to us the realisation that Clark is more human than people give him credit. It also shows his flaws and weakness's without actually lessening him as a person, as a character, and most importantly as a dad.
I loved it Jenni. Short, sweet and full of emotion...
Thanks for keeping this coming... can't wait to read more...

I loved this part. Clark's insight into his daughter's character and his responses to her concerns were very touching. With a mix of Clark's compassion and Lois' drive, no wonder she's conflicted about her inability to do it all. I'm glad she chose spending time with her dad over competing and so is Clark.
You have such a beautiful writing style. It was easy to see and feel the weather through your words and it was interesting (almost fun) to see Clark's discomfort with the cold. So many changes for him, yet he's still the same guy.
Love the adrenalin theory.

What a sweet and waffy episode, Jenni. And why do I have the feeling that you will blindside us with the next bomb?

Hi, I feel very guilty that I haven't replied to all your wonderful feedback before now, but I've been working so hard to write the next part of this story, which I haven't actually managed to do. So please accept my apologies for being late, but I was so very happy that you enjoyed the last scene. I sometimes feel that I'm more an A-plot writer and that I don't write personal interaction very well, so your comments reassured me that maybe I'm not so bad.  Yours Jenni
