Again, I absolutely love how you write the Lois-Clark interaction and their unspoken feelings for each other. I love it when they talk to each other, too!
I always, always worry what Clark's refusal to share his secret with Lois will do to their relationship. Consider, for example, his footy game. He couldn't very well refuse to take part, and he couldn't very well have used his powers to make sure his team won. But I can see that some people would think that he shouldn't have taken part in the game in the first place, and others would think that he should have given victory to his team, because otherwise he is a lousy team player who lets down his mates. I wonder what Lois will think.
At first I thought that Browny disapproved of a Clark-Lois relationship, and that he would do his best to keep them apart. But now it appears that he is working to bring them together instead. That's delightful.
Of course, their date still won't happen for several days yet. I still worry about those blue and green "opals" that Seb knew about. There was no reason to mention something so inconsequential if those crystals were harmless. And if Clark is going to travel around the country, it could be that he is going to run into them. Ah, Clark, when the kryptonite hits you, maybe your team mates will be telling you that you should have taken the ice bath after all!
