Groobie!!!
So excited to see a fic from you! And this was a wonderful tale! I love the slow realization that Lois has that she does actually care, and maybe even more, how she goes to him and convinces him to stay "for us"... My heart melted! And then the reveal being so subtle but getting the point across... Absolutely flawless. And he didn't even have to say the words.
My personal favorite line though:
His eyes danced away as he said, “I like you.”
She mocked him with a deadpanned voice. “I like my goldfish.”
Clark rolled his eyes. “I really like you.”
“I really like chocolate.”
Oh, and this little gem:
Action was far more productive than tears, and there were specific things on her agenda for the day: reclaim her partner, redeem Superman’s reputation, and win a Pulitzer. That last one was always on her list.
So Lois!
Standing ovation!
Wonderful job!
