I've always loved the black teddy and Clark's reaction to it, so I'm really glad that Lois found the courage to put it on and seduce Clark.
“Oh, god, Clark,” she finally said, sounding distressed. “I’m sorry. I don’t know how to do this. I thought I could pull it off. And your mother said... But I just... don’t know how to do this. I’m sorry. I’ll...” Her voice trailed off and he heard her hastily gathering up her coat again before turning back to the door.
Love this! She works up just enough courage to get there and then ... the nervous babbling begins.
He knew what he should ask. Why was she trying to seduce him? It was the natural question. But in his current state there was only one thing he wanted to know, desperately needed to know. “What are you wearing?” he asked, his voice husky.
Like Virginia said - Clark may not be the typical male (and very patient, as well), but he is male. I'm glad that he responded this way and that Lois was able to succeed in what she set out to do.
Lois handled the inevitable "We made a mistake" and "you deserve so much more" talk with incredible maturity. I think that the past two weeks have been really good for her. She's been able to get a real handle on those scary and troublesome emotions. I also think that Clark's vulnerability has equalled the playing field (in Lois' mind) a little.
Oh, and of course, they have the best relationship coach in the multi-verse. Martha Kent.
More soon, please.
