Well that was what I feared would happen--the non-cuddling, I mean. There's no way Clark can hear all of that and Lois can
say all of that without them going through a period of awkwardness. I hope that it's only a period though. They need to reconnect... I just don't know how they will breach the divide.
I'm glad that Clark was still able to tease her and still willing to help out where he can, but I'm sure that he's going to have the 'is this sending the wrong message' and 'I don't want to hurt her emotionally' thoughts flying around all the time. I like that Lois confessed to not believing him at the end of 100. It alludes to me that Clark is going to have some major proving of himself to do when he *does* come around to consciously loving her.
I think that if Clark stops putting so much energy into denying his love for Lois, he may surprise himself. He has stubbornly held to his emotional commitment to Lana for so long, that I wonder if he's not surprised by who he is once he releases that hold. He can't make himself love Lois, he *shouldn't* make himself love her, and what I would like most is to see him fall in love with her little by little (methinks he could be halfway there already). Ultimately, Clark isn't going to want to lead Lois on, so how in the world are they going to be able to move on from here? RAFO!
Will we ever get to know why Ma & Pa love Lois and only *like* Lana? That would be an interesting eye opener...
Did I mention that I enjoy the complications you've stirred up?
I'll take another plate, please.
