Nicely done, Virginia!
I loved all the little moments in this! For me, great stories are found in the details -- that little glimpse into the mundane that makes it sublime. Lois' impatience as she waits for her coffee set to her conversation with Clark is perfect example of this. I could see it all in my mind and it was making me grin. And then I just kept grinning because there are few things I love so well as having a subtle double meaning to whatever Clark is saying and/or Lois talking about Superman to Clark.
I loved her realization that Lex was all show and that Clark was the one proving his devotion through countless little niceties.
