I guess I forgot about that sticky little wham warning, too...
Ah, DJ, this was just a wonderfully written part!!
I love these lines:
“Uh, ...duh. Are you just now seeing that? Man, are you dense or what?”
I feel a blush creep across my cheeks. I’ve thought about more than that.
Oh, I hope not, Clark:
My first by-line for the Daily Planet. I wish it wasn’t my last.
Better have that job
before you go back to Smallville.
I want you to know that you’ve always got a job waiting for you here.”
Oh, this is so sweet. Isn't acceptance what we all want?
“So what’s your *type*, Clark?” Lois asks me as we walk, finally breaking the silence.
“Excuse me?” I ask her.
After my last conversation with Lana, that’s easy. “Acceptance.”
“Acceptance?”
Great line - Kiss her Clark, Kiss her!!
Oh god, I want to kiss her so badly. She looks so beautiful in the light of the setting sun
If Lana really loved him, she'd go to Metropolis with him. Surely she knows how important it is to him? Nah, maybe not - or she just doesn't care.
“Is she the reason you never moved to Metropolis?” she asks quietly. “You told me you’d always wanted to work for the Daily Planet, but yet you never moved up here. You said it was for personal reasons. Is she the reason?”
I nod my head at her.
Surely Lois should give him a little break. He told he would tell her eventually.
Are you hiding anything else?”
Ahhhh....
“Then I think it’s time for us to say goodnight, Clark.” Her voice is deathly quiet as she turns away from me.
“Goodnight, or goodbye?” I ask her, holding my breath.
Off to read the next part...
