Hi Kathryn!
December 21st
Superman always waits for the right time. Follow his lead and wait!
LOIS: I can confirm that Superman always waits until the time is right.
“Morning,” she mumbled, reaching for her mug. Her eyes landed on a tray of golden-brown pastries cooling on the counter, next to it was the bag with the number 21.
Someone was baking? Or shopping?
“You made these?” she asked, a hint of admiration in her voice.
Aww… two years in and she’s still in awe of his ability to use heat.
Sharing food is very important in their culture, so I thought it would be nice to bring something too.”
And now I’m wondering if bringing Bobby Bigmouth would be considered friendly or rude.
“Did you make these?” she asked, gesturing to the pastries.
“My husband did,” Lois admitted with a small, sheepish smile. “I can only eat them.”

She’s very proficient at that, though.
The woman laughed warmly. “Well, if you’re willing, we can teach you to make something now.”

This has all the makings of an international incident.
Clark caught her eye and gave her a thumbs-up. Lois rolled her eyes but couldn’t help smiling.
Translation: Don’t worry, honey, I’m here to put out the fire.
“It means when you truly desire something, no challenge feels too great. You’ll find a way, no matter how hard it seems.”
The words struck a deep chord. Lois glanced at Clark, happily chatting with the drummers and felt the proverb resonate far beyond the task at hand. Could the women sense her unspoken hopes, or was it just her own heart speaking?

Later, carrying the plate of fritters to the table, she beamed with quiet pride. The warm, sweet flavor of her first bite felt like more than success - it tasted like possibility.
Awwww
“For you,” she said warmly, handing it over. “After all, eating by yourself leaves you hungry, but sharing makes you full.”
No, I will not read any double speak into this.
The meaning sank in deeply: her life with Clark was already full, but she couldn’t help wondering how much fuller it might become if her suspicions proved true.
Looks who’s heart just grew by three sizes.
She smiled, leaning into him for a kiss. “Connection, huh? Well, if it means more moments like this, I think I could get used to it.”
They’re so adorable, you just want to tap their noses

: Ralph tried to leave a mark in this story and Santa put him on the naughty list for that.

Three more parts! I’m guessing the big reveal will in on Dec 24th?
