Nan, ditto Pam and Sara, who both said exactly what I was thinking. I
love the added romance and B-plot which is going into your stories these days, and the introspection in this section was excellent. Lots of great insights into both Lois and Clark in this section, and it's also fun to see Clark reading Lois right in some respects and wrong in others.
Loved this bit:
The realization brought her up short. If she didn't know Clark Kent by now, then she didn't know anything about anybody. She'd learned everything important about him the day she had awakened in his bedroom two days after Miranda had sprayed her with the Revenge; she just hadn't connected it before.
Clark cared about her, and equally important, he respected her. That was something she couldn't say about any of her previous relationships. She couldn't even say that about her own father, who had wanted a son, and had been bitterly disappointed because he "only" had daughters to show for his marriage. Would any other man climb out of a warm bed at midnight to help his friend and partner turn a mattress, for god's sake?
Absolutely, Lois! Now you really do know Clark well. Go for it, girl!
And that bit at the end, Lois showing Clark that she's been trying to protect him, was great. Can't wait to see what he says or does about that!
More soon!
