Hi Vic!

I’m sorry this took a bit, but umm…/points at work/
Lois' thoughts when she comes across something surprising in the middle of the night.
Hmm…
Or, maybe, it's time to wake him … and just treat him differently, treat him better.
Yeah, she so found out he’s Superman.
The shock washes over me, the hurt grinds in my stomach, the shame aches around my heart.
Fun thought: What if she actually slept with him during PML and is now all antsy about it?
I purposefully sneaked through the bedroom because … it's the only way to get to the bathroom.
He really didn’t think that one through, did he?
Silent tears are streaming unchecked down my cheeks and I can't take my eyes off him.
Oh boy.
Is that even the correct term? What is the word for a male Kryptonian?
‘stud’? ‘hunk’? ‘The after. The way, way after.’
TRASK: ‘Specimen’.
Just … everything seems wrong, out of place.
He sleeping in the buff?
Is my own name even Lois?
Oh dear. Did she bang her head in the loo? Is her name now Wanda?
Or, maybe, I need to shout, rant, rave … until all this … mess … inside, has come out.
How about punching him in the side?
Does he know that he's the reason I arrive at work early
CLARK:

Because I’m a story to her?
Does he know that I purposefully let tonight's evening working session linger a bit too long?
So she could have a ‘night cap’ with him?
Disappointment that I wasn't following him into the bedroom.

That would have been fun. Her sneaking after him and slipping under the covers next to him.
Who, though? Who do I love and who do I hate?
Clark and Lois, respectively?
Sometimes I think it's myself that I hate.

I hate how he's so inflexible when it comes to right and wrong.

I hate how he challenges me, instead of just letting me get on with my lonely life. I hate how he's so inflexible when it comes to right and wrong.
And I hate how he's lied to me, deceived me, manipulated me.
I hate him.
I hate that he made me respect him, then like him, then …
Ten Things I Hate About You?
He doesn't have all night to hold me. He could be needed at any time. The world might call him away.
LOIS: Stupid world. I hate the world!
TEMPUS:

Although I'd always imagined he'd be in it with me … not four feet above it.

And to think that I could … claim him … well that's just ridiculous.
Maybe if she put a ring on his…finger while he’s asleep?
How … how I can't live without him. Beg him to hold me. Plead with him to love me.
Yeah, that’s going to go over well with Clark.
I should wake him. I will.
Soon.

So great there’s a sequel!
