What a perfect ending! I love it:

Quote
“I'm going to ask you to marry me.”

Lois was silent as she let his words sink in. He wasn’t asking her to marry him. He was just telling her that he intended to do so – a pre-proposal of sorts. She had never pictured herself getting married. Not after all her disastrous relationships. But, somehow…with Clark…

"I'm going to say yes," she replied softly.
And I agree with the other FoLC, there should be a sequel of sorts, just a little 'in your face' piece for the gossip mongers. razz

Are you game, Annie? goofy

Seriously, I loved this story of yours. A perfect birthday gift.

Happy birthday, Becki! dance

Lois: Well, I like my quirks. I think they make me unique.
Clark: You certainly are unique.

Clark: You're high maintenance, you know that?
Lois: But I'm worth it!
