This was SO CUTE and SO FUN!
“No flying in the house, young man.” His mother scolded as she came into the kitchen.
Right off the bat, you've really go these character voices down!
“Lois told her she was going to a friend’s house tonight. She just didn’t tell her which friend.”
That's Lois to a T! Love it!
Thus far, he’d managed to not let his parents know just how much Lois knew about him.
That's an amazing added complication!
But… that would be a lie.
I love that you're really trapping him in this (with his own sense of morals)!
That was his mom, her voice neutral and calm – too calm really.
The implicit threat here is just delicious.
"So, I may have mentioned that I was going to marry you – not yet, but in the future after college and starting our careers and stuff.”
Smooth, Clark.
"So, I kind of… blurted out that I’d seen the future.”
Lois couldn’t help it. She laughed, loud and long.
What a great response. This is an amazing twist
Clark chuckled too and Lois snuggled in closer to the warm rumble in his chest. “You’d think that two people who found a super powered baby in a spaceship would be a little less skeptical.”
Literally perfect descriptors here!
“We changed it,” he stated bluntly.
Ooops. But I can't help but think this is a great (and not earth-shattering change).
It was Clark’s turn to smirk. “I believe your exact words were: dull, insipid, mud-brown.”
What a fantastic turnabout! Fun that she can't remember, since this was a decade ago for them.
I can now guarantee you that I will not say those words and thereby the future becomes the past ergo, I never said that.
Girl logic and BRILLIANT.
Had they really traveled though time?
Did it matter?
Good on Martha.
Before the final note faded away, Lois pulled his head down into a kiss. Martha grinned and turned to her husband. “You know, I don’t think we have anything to worry about.”
AWWWWWW! And good for Martha! I just love the way you write her.
