What a wonderful story! So sweet and romantic. Go B-plot! Go B-plot!
Thank you!
I thought you COULD still make calls during a power outage with landlines. (I always could.) Of course, Clark has a cordless phone, which wouldn't work without power.
True. I actually forgot about that. But yeah, Clark's phone is cordless, so no dice there if Lois had called.
The former Girl Scout is always prepared!
Ya think? Much better company than you have at home?
Fish are not good company?
Okay, now you've gone and made Clark perfect. <<wags finger>> I'm lucky if I can get my KIDS to play a game with me, let alone my husband! (And I'm not even cut throat like Lois). Oh, right, your story. Sorry...
Although I have to admit I was thinking Clark was putting an extra twist on his Monopoly rolls to get them past her Boardwalk. Maybe subconsciously just a teach her how to lose? A little bit?
only because we know he can! </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">
I know. I amused myself greatly with that one.
He doesn't want her to know he can chose wine without a wine stewart like Lex?
Clark (to self): "Which wine says, you're my best friend but I love you without looking obvious?"
I love the lines like this one you have sprinkled throughout the story. So sweet!
Thank you very much!
This makes total sense in a Duh! sort of way. But didn't he write many of those articles in other languages?
True, but I'm guessing there had to be a translation of it somewhere. Perry was able to read the Gecko article. And the internet always has translators. Although, did that exsist in 1994? I didn't have the internet back then. Even if not, Lois probably has a ton of sources that could get her English versions.
I love how she's championing him here like she usually does with Superman.
Thanks. That was my goal. To make her champion Clark like she would with Superman, not knowing that they are one and the same.
Bet he wasn't expecting her to beg him to share the bed!
Never crossed his mind in his wildest dreams.
I like how she keeps comparing him to the other men in her life and everyone else comes up lacking. Plus, only Clark would smell of "wind". I love that image. (if scent could be an image that is... perhaps the correct term would be phrase. Yes, phrase!)
Thanks again! I had fun with the comparisons. And I really wanted the wind image/phrase. I like when Lois makes these sort of subconcious connections between Clark and Superman without realizing that she's doing it.
I'm a little surprised that Clark's more comfortable in this position than Lois! Being that he's the one who floats in his sleep. Maybe he's just better at faking it.
Or just really exhausted from Supermaning around town all night.
Um... she backed into him. What is he ashamed about?
Nothing. But he's also the type of man to apologize for the sun if Lois gets a sunburn.
I was beginning to wonder if this just going to be a great couple of days together when you go and do a reveal! I was totally not expecting that. I was a bit surprised that Lois didn't notice that Clark never explained WHY he left all those countries that he lived. I was sure she would pick up on that pattern.
She's a little dense? Glad I was able to give you a surprise!
NO! Why would I want the two most wonderful men in my life swirled together in one terrific man? Who adores me? Absolutely not!
How dare he suggest such a thing!
Great ending! Thank you for setting the bar so high for all waffy stories to come in 2012!
Thank you so much! Wow, I wasn't expecting a comment like that! Also, is it bad that when I see the
guy, I hear the Ewok "ooooh-ooooh" worship chant in my head? Is this a sign that I need to stop watching Star Wars marathons on the tv?
