Clark adjusted his tie so it sat neatly in the apex of his starched collar. He slipped on his jacket and surveyed the result in the full-length mirror. His new clothes looked good. But his face ...
He grimaced.
His stubble had grown longer and thicker since his unsuccessful attempt to shave this morning.
Why was Lois so against him shaving?
Was it because - despite everything she'd said and her evident appreciation of his bare chest - she was nervous about this first kiss? Was she hoping that his stubble would mean the kiss would be limited to a brief touch?
Or was it somehow linked with the lack of scars on his body? If his body couldn't be marked, did that mean his whiskers couldn't be shaved?
Thanks
Corrina.
