Another nice scene with her father.
Which - in her thoughts - led to Clark.
All thoughts lead to Clark.
Can't wait to see all of Lois's plans for her purchases.
Or are you disconcerted because you've realised that the way things were done around here violates just about every human right our country holds as important?"
Busted. Good for Lois calling him out on that.
V. interesting conversation with Shadbolt. Obviously not what I expected but (big shocker) I like your version better. I'm glad Shadbolt wasn't involved in something like that. Of course it leads to even more questions, why would Trask lie in a journal that seems to have been just for him? Maybe Moyne just reported that he and Shadbolt performed the operation? But would Trask actually trust someone like Moyne (who I'm still v. afraid is NOT gone for good)?
I chuckled at Lois checking out Clark's arms in his t-shirt, did she not notice them when he was shirtless the last week?
V. sweet of her to give him some more sunshine.
It was *Lois*.
Clark felt himself smile. Lois shining light into his world was so symbolic.
Awh
She looked pleased by his words. As if his approval meant something to her. Clark wanted to say more. He wanted to say that she was amazing. And breathtaking. And beautiful. But he didn't. He couldn't.
He was an alien.
A prisoner.
His opinion wasn't worth anything.
She doesn't think those things! She wants to wash your hair! I know after 7 years of abuse believing anything positive about himself is going to be difficult, but its so sad to see his low opinion of himself, especially when we *know* he's such a great guy. Poor Clark.
"It's too ..." Too much. Too soon. Too close. Too intimate. Too humiliating. Too indicative of how low he had sunk.
Squash! That sounds promising. As always, great update, leaving me thirsty for more. And please don't stop the previews. It's fun to see how much we can speculate about 6 to 8 lines.
