Thank you for your comments.
Finally someone points this out to her.

Lane?
CLARK: Lois? Well, that plan sounds logical, so probably impossible to implement.
JIMMY: Who are you talking about here?
LEX: I don't understand. Lois *likes* me. We're engaged.
I'm glad that there's finally some progress between Lois and Clark. Everything has been stagnating or getting worse for so long that it's been depressing. Good chapter.
Could Lois and Clark's dry spell be coming to an end?

/it only seems like forever because I've dropped my posting schedule down to once a week. Technically, in the story it's been roughly two weeks since that day in the park./
CLARK: Feels like forever to me, too.
