Right now it makes more sense to me this way, but it certainly may not to you.
Hmm... I read this as Lois wondering if she had become so much involved in the case, that she has formed a personal bond with the subject and is now able to emphasize with him to a degree that’s much more appropriate for lovers or best friends than it is for a warden and a prisoner.
She intended to be at the travel agents when it opened. She needed to book a seat on the first airplane to Wichita on Wednesday morning and a return flight during the afternoon. She estimated that she would have three hours in Smallville. It was a lot of travelling for such a short time, but she couldn't leave Clark for longer than a day.
Good plan. Wonder what is going to derail it. Also, what will the towns folk say when Lois asks what had happened to the owners of the derelict farm. “The Kents? Yes, I do remember them. They looked like such nice people. Couldn’t believe it when the government came and took them away. I always say to Father that it’s always the quiet ones that you have to watch out for. But still, domestic terrorism and gun running? The drug farm, that is possible given their remote fields. And that Jonathan Kent never accepted help. But I guess the least surprising one was the Internet religion scam his wife ran. Never trusted her tinkering with them electronic stuff.”
"During the night, Longford heard a low pounding noise coming from the cell."
Talk about the weakest link.
"A pet door would enable us to get food into the cell without having to open the door."
Finally!
"I'd have to use the rods."
Huh, how’s she going to do that?
The surgery.
The little lump just above Clark's collarbone.
Oh boy!
"If you're saying that you love me, Dad, I know that," Lois said with a smile. "I've always known how much you love me."
His eyes blinked twice.
Didn’t figure it out myself but reading the FDK, I think the others are right. He’s telling her that she has feelings for The Man.
I did wonder if we would get a nice Christmas surprise and here it is!
/yay/ for the update and a Merry Christmas!
