D8a's Muse here, posting pre-posting comments from D8a's reading of the beta version of this post.
But she sidled up behind him, moaning and sighing as she rubbed her leg against his. He shoed her away, but it merely jangled her beads. She gasped in delight.
Ok, now I know what Martha was hearing...
The next thing he knew, her lips were atop his. She smelled like heaven in his arms. He lost himself in the taste and the feel of her.
Ah, so there was a kiss...
“Didn’t she call that perfume ‘Revenge?’” Lois recalled. “Maybe she sprayed a lover and it backfired. Removed the wrong inhibitions.”
eww, that could have made PML sooo much darker...(Open challenge to anyone, hmm.)
Clark could tell by the white-knuckled way she gripped her pencil that Lois was still seething, but she curtly nodded her agreement.
I can just see her doing this. In my mind it is a mechanical pencil, otherwise we would have heard a snap!
“Gifted hearing, gifted breath and gifted smell. If you had blond hair and blue eyes, Hitler would have loved you.

Her friendship with Clark was way too complicated. One minute he was asking her out, the next he was stealing credit for her work, and in the next breath he was admitting to being a liar. She sighed. He could have the blonde. She was out of there.

Nothing from me. I have to go use a feather duster on D8a. He's awfully ticklish and it is so much more affective than the whip to get him to write.
