This was nicely written. I'm always interested in what Lois would have said/done if Clark had told her the truth during this episode.
“Don’t understand what? That you had more important things to do when my partner and best friend was shot dead tonight?” Her voice was dripping with acerbity.
“No!” he cried. “That I… that I have always loved you. Always. And that I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you. That I’m sorry I’ve been putting you through this when… when I really just need to tell you that -“ His voice cracked. “Clark’s not dead. I’m not dead.”
“What are you… I don’t…”
The truth hit her like a ton of bricks. He saw it in her eyes, which first narrowed and then widened in surprise when the realization dawned on her.
This was one of the best revelations.
Thank you for such a neat little story.
