*shakes head*
That's my only reaction to Clark's behavior because I'm speechless. First the birthday thing, and then the 'Lana' misnomer. Not good, Clark. Not good at all.
They are still acting like strangers, or at the least acquaintances who don't like each other very much. This type of relationship is not helpful, even from Navance and would-be kidnappers. Let's say Lois does get in trouble... Clark would probably be off sulking on an iceberg at the time.
While I'm glad he's thinking about his behavior, he's not acting on his musings enough for my liking. His 'woe is me' act needs to either put up or shut up. There's only so long that one can live in the past and dwell over choices made. Lois was the first to breach the divide with the (very thoughtful) birthday gift. Petty, indeed! At this rate, Lois should just make him the nanny since that's where he's likely to be sleeping.
I know the kissing (et al.) was too fast/early to have been meaningful, but it would have been nice for them to have the added problem of intimacy. Tangible proof of compatibility, maybe?
That was a nice place to end the chapter... but not a nice place to leave us hanging!! We need chapter 58, stat!
