“Lois,” Perry said, approaching her posse. “You’re going to have to clear this first with Sgt. Zymak. He still considers all of us suspects in Miranda’s murder and has ordered us to stay in town.
I think this is a major inprovement over canon. This actually makes sense as a line, not the accusation she would go somewhere and try to bill without approval.
After that man realizes that, had you wanted to kill Miranda, you would have found a more creative way to do so than choking her, you’ll have to clear your trip with the budget office.”
Well, OK, maybe this sort of makes sense, I still prefer the first part.
Work first, pleasure later, the memory of Clark’s voice echoed through her head.
Makes Clarkie a very dull boy, she had responded in a baby doll voice and pouted lips.
Clark: I remember it to. I hope she eventually forgives me for then, but not yet. She said the words of thanks, but she is mad at me still.
Perry took the letter out of her hand. “Darlin’, this is for the honeymoon suite,” he announced with a sidelong glance at Clark.
Lois snatched the paper back before Clark could see his name on it.
his name is still on it.
“The honeymoon suite?” her partner sputtered in shock.
Clark: Was she really plotting a wedding. Is she still stuck with the hotel costs. I wish we could get married, but then she would die.
She was able to make it two steps before Clark blocked her path. In a soft voice he asked, “Are you checking in alone?”
Why oh why did he ask this?
“Honey, that reservation was for a Mr. and Mrs. Clark Kent,” Perry said, letting her know that he had noticed that one little detail.
There was a crash out in the newsroom.
Clark overheard that line.
Lois stood up, and together they watched as Clark picked up his now cracked automatic pencil sharpener from the floor. Perry shook his head and they returned to their seats.
This has to be really, really hard for Clark.
From a story point, this is much better than canon. The events of PML make sense as still overshadowing what is going on here, which they didn't really seem to do in canon.
I also am glad that Clark knows she is there as Mrs. Clark Kent.
I guess the fact that he was able to get her to smile and laugh, and that she did thank him for not taking advantage of her are good.
Still, Clark really and truly loves Lois, but she does not see it. They both feel for eachother, but are too afaid to open up.
I am surprised Clark has managed to go without telling anyone.
I am hoping he at least calls Lois at the Honeymoon Suite. I have to say from a story point of view it is good that they are working through the events with the pheremone. I am encoraged so far.
I do wish Clark had told her everything, but I am really, really glad he told what he did.
There is still hope for them.
