A roller-coaster of emotion is right - just incredible, Leela! I'm not sure what to think at the thought of Lois telling Clark that she's not uninterested. Yes, we all know that he'll be willing to wait, and won't put any pressure on her, but as Lana said, she's putting a lot of pressure on herself either way.

And with this dream...this hasn't helped. Even if Lois tells Clark, probably the only thing that will soothe her fears and make this particular nightmare go away will be his *infinite* patience, for however long it takes... And at first when she woke up and felt threatened by him, it wasn't because she saw him as Kal, she saw him as Clark! Yes, I know it's because of the nightmare, but it hardly seems like progress here... And, on top of this, now she's worried that he got into her mind and read her thoughts, and is unsure how to ask him about it...

You're sure not making things easy for her, are you? eek

And I agree with Pam that it will hurt Clark tremendously when he does eventually find out about this particular nightmare. Oh, I can see it now: his heart soars with joy at the prospect of maybe one day having a future with Lois [Linked Image], and then suddenly he comes crashing down with the news that she fears that he will eventually tire of waiting and force her to... [Linked Image]

::sigh:: Well, I'm still trying to remain optimistic here, although I haven't forgotten about Tank's big wham that's coming. help But there's still the Saturday dinner, and I loved the idea of the non-date date. smile
