Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic Comments: I is for Illusions, part 2

Lois sat up, frowning at him. "But what if he *is* involved, Clark? You can't go around assuming anything in this business!"

Clark gaped at her. "But, but ... I thought..."

"You thought I was dating him, so I wouldn't hear a word against the man?" Lois shook her head. "No, he's asked me out -- okay, we've been to dinner a few times," she added, "but I'm a *reporter* first and foremost, and he's a newsmaker. That's all there is to it."

"Good." Clark watched his partner, feeling very content with his world. Even if Lois never ended up loving and marrying him, it was incredible just to be near her, and to be her friend. It was more than a lot of other people had.
