Mouse Sorry, patience is kind of the required for this story
Thanks for sticking with me, though.
Amy Uhmm - the 'whole new adventure' part - we are moving into the final parts of the story. I hadn't thought about it, but Sylva and Martha would have gotten along wonderfully.
Andreia The 'spilling of the beans' will come - one, probably quite expectedly, one, perhaps not!
John I wish Clark would be less afraid of how Lois will react.
Even canon-Clark struggled with being an alien in a human world. This Clark lost M&J when he was 10, and the one person he trusted implicitly, proved unworthy of that trust.
QofA Thanks for dropping by. Good luck with the grading.
MrsM It's interesting to see the way the Bangala culture is different from American culture. Here, two people are married until one dies or they get divorced, no matter whether one of them cheats or leaves. Sylva, on the other hand, says that because Lana is having some other guy's baby, Clark isn't married to her anymore. It's a much less formal dissolution of the marriage. But I suppose the Bangala wouldn't have the same reasons to have a formal legal procedure for divorce.
Certainly, there are cultural differences, but this was mostly pragmatism from Sylva. The Bangala are very isolated. Lois came and never returned. In Sylva's mind, Kent will never go back, so in every practical sense, his marriage is over. The fact that his wife is pregnant with another man's child makes this less of a tragedy.
Kate More on Romaric to come!
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate everyone who is continuing to read this fic.
Corrina.
