Yep, perfect ending to this what-if story.  Of course, it takes a drunk Clark to get his inhibitions -- and Lois'! -- lowered enough for honesty from the very beginning. And somehow I think the series would have much shorter if it had started this way.  Unless, of course, they had found other sources of angst. 
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

He seemed to lose his balance suddenly, tumbling backwards and ending up sprawled on the damp grass. *giggle* I like seeing Clark shocked like that. "Sure. Just name the country." Now that's a date I like! I love how you guys did this, twisting it just a bit. And I love how Lois misled Clark on her knowledge of the secret identity. Loved it!

This story ROCKS! 
If she had to move heaven and Earth, perhaps come back to haunt Perry and explain the story after they'd killed her, she would do it.

This is the kind of revelation I adore! 
Lois: Well, I like my quirks. I think they make me unique.
Clark: You certainly are unique.
Clark: You're high maintenance, you know that?
Lois: But I'm worth it!

I'm late to comment, but I just caught up with this one today. Very fun, ladies! I knew I was in for a treat when I saw your three names in the author column and I wasn't disappointed. Fun, cute story, and very enjoyable to read. Loved "drunk" Clark and Lois wanting *so* badly to take advantage of him, but not being able to do it, LOL. Nice, light revelation and loved them returning to bantering by the end of the story -- with a delightful double meaning, of course. What a fun universe. Left a smile on my face. Hope these IRC stories keep coming! Kathy

Uh, after the first total hilarious part this one is aimed at a limitation of damage and in a very comfortable way. Seeing the 'early' Lois who was just partnered up with Clark in this way is enjoyable! Thanks for this story Wendy
