"That *was* work," Clark protested. "See how breathless we are."
He had worked for the agency, too. And for longer than he had previously assumed.
Ah, if only, Clark!

I'm pretty sure Lois' novel helped nudge that idea along, even if it wasn't her intention...
What would her lie do to their marriage?
Yeah, Lois--good point! And I'm glad she's wanting to tell him the truth now, because his discovering it on his own could surely backfire!
MMmm! And pie a la mode! And a bath together!
But will it all come crashing down when Clark discovers the truth?
PS I haven't said it before, but I'm glad you turned Daniel Scardino into a likeable character and almost friend to Lois. He was a salvageable character after all.
