Great part, Wendy! He showed her. <g>
executed a somersault in mid-air and came to land beside her.
This line made me think of Peter Pan - I could just see Clark in green tights and a wooden sword doing somersaults in the air.
(/me tries to picture Lois as Tinkerbell)
“I didn't try to kill myself, Clark. Lex tried to kill me!”
Wow.
I guess I saw it coming, because it was pretty obvious in the second part that she didn't try to fake her death - doing so by walking into a lake is usually not a good plan simply because then it wouldn't be fake. <g> I was leaning more towards thinking he scared her so much (maybe raped her?) that she tried to kill herself. Doesn't explaing the pills, though - she's not the type of person to kill herself and make it look like an accident. It was also pretty clear that the news report was false - Lois was threatened so many times already, that if she does die young it probably won't be like this. Um, I forget what my point was.
Oh, wait, yes
- I guess I wasn't too surprised Lex tried to kill her because there was forshadowing, but I expected her to try and avoid telling Clark. Maybe to deal with this herself - she's so independent. Although she doesn't have too may resources now, but I'm sure she'd find a way to get along.
Finally, she continued, her voice hoarse. “I've never taken sleeping pills. And, if you... think about it, it doesn't say a lot for Lex as a husband if... if his wife is prescribed sleeping pills right after the ho... honeymoon, does it?”
LOL.
He grinned. “It's hardly the only town with an unimaginative name. Did you know that there's a village in Ireland called Inch?”
LOL. Really?
What about Hicksville? I'm not sure where it is, but I think it's also somewhere in Ireland. And if you think about it, Kitchener is funny, too. <g>
She gave him a wry look. “You mean apart from staying alive? To sort out my personal life and get back into reporting.”
Aw... I feel so bad for her. Poor Lois.
Again, great part. I love this. Please sort it out soon!
