She tensed up as he took her hand. Lois wasn’t sure what she was doing here. She knew Lex had feelings for her. He kept asking her out, and many times she had to decline because of a big story. It was flattering to have a billionaire interested in her. Yet was she really interested in him?
This paragraph is so great! It shows her discomfort with Lex and then does such a good job of explaining her state of mind. Because before this, I’m like, why the heck would she go to Lex’s NYE party?? But it’s *first* season Lois, and she *was* attracted to Lex on some level…she liked the attention or maybe it was even that she thought she *should* like the attention. So anyway, great job having her at the party and then telling us why and how she’s feeling!
“Lois, I went to Lex’s party looking for you. I must have gotten there right after you left the bellman said you had left in a cab. So I came here,” Clark explained with a smile, picking up his glass.
GAHH! This was everything! Because… I mean, we all were *pretty* sure that the evening would end with them bringing in the new year together…but reading along, I just wasn’t sure how! Especially when it was too late for Perry’s party. But that he WENT there to find her?? Not to her apartment to just check if she was there, but to Lex’s party! This was an emotional twist that just got me in the FEELS.
kissed him sweetly on the lips. It wasn’t a kiss full of passion, it was a kiss of the future. Over the past year, she had gained a partner, a best friend, and a man that captured her heart even if she couldn’t admit the last part just yet. This New Year was full of possibilities. The first New Year’s Eve in years where she was looking forward to what comes next.
And the kiss! Such a perfect wrap up for season 1!! Hope for the future! Aww!
Great work!
