I messed up the preview for Chapter 7 and gave you a bit from Chapter 8. Here's a bit more...
Who was Lana? The fragments of conversation she’d heard in the café… had they been talking about this Clark?
Because, in the six days she’d known Clark, he’d given not one indication that he was interested in any particular woman. No mention of her name. No phone calls. No visits. And when Lois had asked Martha if Bess were Clark’s wife, Martha hadn’t said Clark had a girlfriend.
She hadn’t said Clark didn’t have a girlfriend either.
Maybe Lana was away.
But they could still call each other.
Had he spent any time thinking about her, Lois? He must have questions about why she’d been upset, why she’d been looking for Jack Mackenzie, and what had led her to rural Kansas. He must wonder, but he’d demanded nothing from her. No explanations, no answers.
Less than a week after deciding she would never again trust another man, Lois was close to trusting Clark Kent.
Not with her heart, obviously.
But perhaps there was no need for secrecy.
Thanks for reading!
Corrina.
