Back again, but still haven't stopped smiling about this update
I'm afraid this won't be much more than glorified gushing, but that's good for an author every once and awhile right? I'll try to restrain myself from quoting everything and single out a few of the lines that made the grin that was plastered on my face while reading even bigger.
Hmm, let's add Uncle Mike to the short list of Lois's father that know about the man in Lois's life
It would still be shaggy. Surely
Heh, not quite.
The entire "first viewing" was priceless - Lois Lane speechless
and nearly swooning, quite a rarity. Loved the line about the beef
and this about sums it all up perfectly...
he smouldered with an understated virility that beckoned to every single female hormone currently searing through her body.
Yup.
And with all this rejoicing about Lois seeing Clark clean-shaven, poor Clark getting a shock at seeing just how far gone appearance was before his ministrations. Hopefully Lois's reaction will keep him fully distracted from dwelling on the negative.
Once again Lois manages to calm Clark's insecurities by reassuring him of her commitment to him and his freedom.
"Give me your hand," Lois said, tapping her knuckles on the table again.
Bossy!Lois.
"Because ... because there's something about you that touches me ... heals me ... completes me ...."
Wondering if Clark yet appreciates the significance of her admissions.
"Tiramisu."
"What's that?"
Chuckling, remembering Tom Hank's hypothesis about that v. same question in "Sleepless in Seattle"
And b/c I can't resist the preview...
"We can do anything you'd like to do."
No. They couldn't.
Heh.
Re: gawping - Never heard that before. It seems to be the perfect combo of gawking and gaping and will be promptly added to my vocab.
mozartmaid had a good point that hadn't occurred to me... Lois is currently in control of the rods and could easily "disappear" them. That would buy them some time in their escape and that's assuming they even have access to more Kryptonite.
Looking forward to the rest of their date and Clark's thoughts on this turn of events. Loving this as always, thanks for the expedited update.
