Awww. *hugs* Thanks, doll! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Fan cliches are just too much fun for me to resist.

About Bill Taylor... That's a good question. I thought about making it explicit that Bill had seen Clark at the club and knew he was a hooker. But the plot kind of goes in a different direction, and there's no real room for a threatning-to-expose-their-arrangement arc. I wasn't actually planning for Bill to be such a major character. He just kind of took off on me, and I'm still deciding what to do with him.

And, yes! Clark had definitely watch out for those photographers! *g*
