Rosebud.
Scary chapter coming.
And then? Who's Clark talking to in the second preview, Jonathan? What will Clark say in response? Will Lana give up on him, or will she snap and try to kidnap Christopher after the threat from Navance is finally taken care of? Will Clark finally let her go and focus on this beautiful woman who is his real wife and is the mother of his child? (I know what he thinks, but too many people say Christopher looks like him.) How long will he be a lunkhead? And how long will he make Lois build that safety wall around her heart?
It's good to see Clark and Lois as friends again. The best marriages are between a man and a woman who are also good friends. I'm not sure they have to be bestfriends, but if they aren't friends to start with, they won't share their real feelings as easily, nor will they be as willing to put the other person's needs and desires before their own. And a marriage which lacks both of these characteristics tends to be a sham marriage, the kind Lois and Clark are just now working out of.
Too bad we didn't get to read about Lois' reaction to that dip. I'd think that Clark would have heard her heart speed up if only he'd been listening. He doesn't think that Lois really loves him, and I believe that's part of the reason he's still hanging on to that Lana fantasy. In his still adolescent mind, he thinks that Lana is the only woman who will love him as he is. Of course, she doesn't know everything about him, and Lois does, so he should be able to figure it out before too much longer.
Excellent story, Carol. The "bumping into" Lana at the ATM might have been completely innocent, or Lana might have seen Clark on the street and decided to initiate the encounter to see if there was any spark left between them. I'm glad she saw the pictures in Clark's wallet, and that he answered the way he did.
Rosebud. Brrrrrr!
Is it tomorrow yet?
