Hi Sara!
Now look what you did, I’m stuck doing FDK on the Serial-Cheater when there’s more stories out there also demanding attention. Then I’m almost done and story #4 pops up.
Lois' luck just keeps improving...enough that even she starts to wonder how she's playing so well.
she must be up for state championship by now.
She half wondered if this was what dating Clark would be like — normally boring activities turned entertaining.
Awww. /Points over yonder/
LOIS: You think? Really? That, too? Nah, you’re funnin’ me.
then she could imagine this as a sort-of date with Clark. Though heaven help him if he took her bowling on their first date.
CLARK: You thought this was meant as a date?
Just as she was letting the ball go, her hand cramped, twitching slightly and taking most of the force out of her throw.
And yet, somehow the ball smashes into the pins and scatters them all around.
But out of the corner of her eye, she saw Clark holding his hand up to the side of his mouth, looking for all the world like a kid trying to blow the pins over with his breath and magical thinking.
Oops?
She turned again, to find Clark watching her. "Whoa, lucky shot!" he said. Adorably.
He doesn’t even get red from the lie.
CLARK Superman doesn't lie. Also, happy wife, happy life.
As Clark took his turn, she watched with a curious...well, and distracted eye—good luck charm or not, he had a great body.
Okay, her coworkers weren't getting that kind of treatment from Clark. So she needed to add another variable. What if she wasn't trying to do well?
"Not the point! It's like putting your shopping cart back — common courtesy."
Oh boy.
"Lois! You don't put your cart back?!"
Over here, the shopping carts had a small deposit to encourage this behavior. It fell out of practice a while ago, though. I think when people became more concerned with touching things other people have touched too. Don’t know why, but it was sometime in mid-2019
"You know, since bowling now seems to be a regular, mandatory event, maybe you should give me lessons."
It’s an effort by Franklin Stern to encourage a more down-to-earth outlook in his star paper’s star reporters. Connect with the common man and such.
"I'd love to," he said, smiling. Adorably. Like...like he had cheated just for her.
She already figured it out? /peeks at next story title/
So, I this is where the usual remarks about this being fun are placed

PS:
What's your favorite part?
That's easy, when you think about it! /beat/ The next one.
