Sorry I'm late, Laura. I have no idea how I missed this! Thank goodness for TOCs.
Clark had already started scribbling a list of ideas.
He has Lois, doesn't he?
Clarkish. It wasn’t a word, but it should be. “Characterizes sweetness personified.”
Awww!
She’d have felt perfectly fine with getting Ralph or Whats-His-Name from sports the whatever bestseller that was out, but Clark?
I can identify with this. My husband is
amazing in the gift department, but I never can think of anything good.
Yellow is for friendship. And a rose deserves a rose. Have a good day.
-Your Secret Santa
Yep, Clark had Lois! (Right?)
She hadn’t really done anything for him… well, she had allowed him to put the byline as Kent and Lane for once instead of the other way around, but that had really been because of the outcome of a bet lost a week or so ago.
LOL!
(Perry) glanced at his desk, which someone had recently organized. His shelves were now all neatly labeled, the clutter gone and a bag of cinnamon gummy bears, his absolute favorite, occupied the space on the newly polished cherry wood of his desk.
I don't know... maybe Clark has Perry. I can't imagine Jimmy organizing Perry's desk! And then Perry or Jimmy has Lois? ... Why don't I stop trying to guess and just read the fic?
Jimmy had to have gotten some of those ideas from Clark!
He opened the paper—the words on the page were nearly as brief as that first letter. But Clark suddenly dropped the paper with a gasp, his gaze immediately locking on Lois’ piercing brown one.
A moment later he had pulled her to him and they were kissing, a sweet, gentle kiss that portrayed both pent up emotion and deep and mutual love.
The paper fluttered unheeded to the ground, the simple words without traditional eloquence, but yet no less meaningful. The couple on the couch continued to kiss, finding the solace both had sought for years. A breeze from the window pushed the paper up against the couch, face up. Lois’ Secret Santa gift for Clark, a gift of three words and yet so much more than that.
“I love you.”
This was great, Laura. I loved it!
