He eyes me with uncertainty, no doubt seeing danger in my methods-- but then he lets out a light laugh of exasperation. “Lois… are you always like this?”
I simply grin at him in return. “You’ll get used to it!”
And that's Lois before she gets used to having a handy lifesaver only a shout away.

Michael, going to look for the bow now with which this will be tied up...
Stay tuned for the final chapter--I'll post it by Thursday at the latest!
