That line.
The whole thing, really, but that line.
Excellent.
And I'm impressed that Clark was able to stammer out a "Wh-what?!" with Lois' mouth on his.
Not only is it completely unexpected and quite funny, it demonstrates Lois' utter and complete trust in this man who has just told her that he's been lying to her for so long. It also shows just how mature and stable Lois is at this point, because mature and stable people feel emotions strongly but aren't ruled by them on every moment of the day. And while we knew that Lois can think quickly on her feet, this is a wonderful real-life (in the Superman fictional universe, of course) demonstration of that skill. They're going to make a terrific team, not only in the newsroom but in their lives together.
This is a fun little story, Superbek. Thank you for sharing.
