This is an incredible insight into Lois's heart.

I can’t stand people who won’t talk to me just because I’m a reporter. Don’t they know I’m a human first, a journalist second?
This is such a telling line! And it's so unlike Lois's public image. Deep down inside, where even she doesn't look very often, she wants to be treated as a person and not as a cardboard cutout.

I wonder, given the title of this piece, if you're going to put your toys back together. This would be a logical conclusion, but I'd bet you're going to get Lois over her brokenness. With Clark's gentle help, of course.


Life isn't a support system for writing. It's the other way around.
