Rat, this was lovely... though I was shouting at Lois for much of it to GET A CLUE!!!!
Men. Why couldn't they just admit when they were in trouble and accept they needed help? Would it kill them to let you know they were hurting, for pity's sake? Why did they have to stick to that macho bull?
"It doesn't hurt much," she said, hoping he didn't hear the tightness in her voice as she did.
I was literally giggling for ages after reading this! Brilliant!
I'm afraid the dashes didn't work for me nearly as well as the ellipses, after all. I had to scratch my head and remember why they were there before they looked ok.
So... I just have to hope that Lois poking and prodding Clark's upper body region does more to raise their respective temperatures than Clark poking and prodding her foot...
More soon, please!
