She closed her eyes, willing away the tears and the throbbing in her heart.

that she had to totally turn down Clark.
She never wanted that with Clark.
Clark would not be disloyal like her father was.
She didn’t want heartache and tears and yelling and distrust and the saying of hurtful things and disappearances for days on end not knowing where the other person was or what they were doing or how they…

asking the staff where there was a back door for her to take a smoke break without her boyfriend noticing.
Lois:My boyfriend would not like it if I smoked, and since he seems to have fled the city, he would not notice either.
