“Hi, Lois,” he said in a tone not unlike the one he would use to an acquaintance.
Is she going to worry about Clark straying? of course, given her father, that's not going to make her look for another man. Not if even Clark cheated on her. It would turn her into a nun. Or a lesbian. But she wouldn't be looking for another man. Maybe she's go invitro, though.
Now, his whole future rested on what happened in the next few days. And he had way more than a few doubts about his ability to do what needed to be done.
The elevator opened and Clark stepped out of it. His eyes automatically sought Lois’s office and he caught a glimpse of her through the window.
His heart surged again. She was so beautiful.
And he loved her.
I think you're doing a great job at ripping him apart down the middle
His response wasn’t instant, but when it came – when *he* captured *her* - it weakened her knees and surged desire through her insides.
Far too soon, Clark broke away from her with a grimace of regret she’d seen a thousand times. It fanned the fire burning inside her and she turned a suggestive smile on him.
“I have to go,” he rasped.
“See you for lunch,” she said. And I *will* see you tonight, she promised both of them.
“I’ll try.” Clark shut her door. Lois stepped forward to the window and watched her husband disappear up the stairwell.
And Lois doesn't understand, is just trying to revive what they had.
