I am still reading and enjoying this story very much. I love the banter between Lois and Clark and then with Matt.
For me this paragragh sums up their connection and how they are moving past some of the earlier angst
“Yeah. Only sometimes ... and not anymore.”
Suddenly, there was another one of those pertinent silences in the room, then Lois spoke softly, meeting his eyes. “I love you, Clark Kent.”
