Clark was slightly breathless as they parted. “I’m completely in love with you, Lois. No matter what. That's how.”
He pulled her into an embrace and she leaned her head against his chest. As he felt her body so close to his, it was as if the final piece of the puzzle just slipped into place and completed the picture. She made him whole.
“Would you go out with me tonight?” he whispered into her hair. “I could find us a fancy restaurant and then I’ll wine and dine you until you forget what happened in your apartment. How does that sound?”
“Wonderful!” She looked up at him with a somewhat teary-eyed smile. “But what if your powers return before we make it to dinner?”
Clark wiped a tear off her cheek. “I’ll make sure they have tables outside as well as inside and allow dogs.”
Her eyes widened. “Really?”
“I’m not going to run away from this.” Clark vowed. “I might have to duck out to the little magician’s room, if the need arises. But I’m not going to let this chance pass.”
GAHHHH this whole part, really!! And EXTRA YAY that he’s so willing to make such a huge effort!!
