Ahhhhhh, what a lovely chapter, Sammy. The WAFF in it!
She sighed in resignation; she didn't know if she could ever fully accept her daughter's choice.
And just
why can't she accept her daughter's choice? What's wrong with Clark, for heaven's sake?
Oaky. Clark is Superman. And that
is going to make Lois's life more difficult and dangerous. Yes, I can see a loving mother objecting to the idea of her daughter marrying Superman.
But Ellen doesn't know that Clark is Superman! So what reason can she have to object? Clark isn't a doctor, and he isn't rich enough? Well, look at yourself, Ellen Lane. You married your rich doctor, and see what that did to you.
No, the only thing Ellen can possibly know about Clark is that he is very good-looking, and that he and Lois are head-over-heels in love with each other. Is that what she doesn't like? Does she dislike Clark because Lois loves him? Because her daughter's relationship with this man will make it harder for
her, Ellen, to boss her daughter around?
Well, give up, Ellen. Lois won't be bossed around by you.
“I'll be fine, Lois. I just care about you...”
“And want the best for me,” Lois finished in a weary voice.
“And you have to admit I'm the best,” Clark grinned modestly.
“You don't know that yet, Lois,” Cat said from the doorway. “Wait until you've sampled the goods.”
Hah! What makes you think she hasn't, Cat?
Ellen stuck her head around the door at Cat's words. “Oh, hello Mrs. Lane, you're, uh, still here,” Cat stammered.
“Certainly am, young lady. Certainly am,” Ellen said, staring up at Cat, and giving her the distinct impression that she was only six inches tall. “And I was just wondering what you meant by that comment?”
I've had Mrs. Earl on the phone, wondering where that lovely young Olsen boy was. And then I come out here, and lo and behold, I find that lovely young Olsen boy is still here. She wants to see you Olsen, so get going!”
*snicker* But I'm
almost a little worried about that lovely boy Jimmy - what will that Mrs. Earl do with him?
“I,” Clark grinned, drawing her back into his arms.
“Will.”
“Will,” Clark murmured, placing a butterfly kiss on Lois's nose, almost breaking her train of thought as he placed butterfly kisses all over her face.
“Lois!” Lucy yelled, bringing her back to the present.
Ahhhhhhh!!!!! *happy sigh*
“So,” Lucy said, being too preoccupied with the frame to pay attention, she had obviously missed something, but was not about to ask what, “Clark, are you going to explain this, or what?” and she thrust the frame under Clark's nose.
What is going to happen now??? Come back soon with more, Sammy!!!
