Making one more attempt now...
Clark gave her an amused grin. "What's the matter with you?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, nothing." Lois waved her hand in dismissal. "I'm fine. Absolutely fine. Why shouldn't I be fine, anyway?" Clark hid his smile. Trust Lois to switch to babble-mode. "It's just not everyday that your younger sister tells you that she's getting married. I mean, shouldn't I get married first?"
Poor Lois!
"Besides," she babbled on, "you know what sort of men she takes for boyfriends. How much worse must the man be she's actually going to marry?"
...
"It can only be a high-ranking criminal. Or, what do I know, maybe some stupid rock star with six more "fiancées" waiting for him in different parts of the country. You know, one of these dark and disturbed types.
This was so funny! Yeah, she is worrying about Lucy marrying a high-ranking criminal, while Lois herself is dating Lex! Oh, but... Lucy's guy has six more fiancées waiting for him? The Batman I know has never gotten engaged to my knowledge, but he has certainly "sampled" a large number of women...
And he is dark and disturbed? "Disturbed" is a too strong word, but a little weird, certainly... and definitely dark!
"Lois, why don't you just pay her a visit and get to know that man? You should have enough holiday saved up," Clark suggested. He'd love to see her face when she finally found out. Dark and disturbed, indeed!
Does Clark know who Lois's sister is marrying? Clark, but not Lois? Aaaahhh, poor Lois! No one tells her anything and she can never figure anything out!
