“Your father’s a worrier, Clark. And I suppose that’s not a bad thing. Every family needs one person to worry. He keeps us on track. Without him…well, I don’t even like to think about where I’d be without him. But the point is, you have to take him with a grain of salt. He doesn’t like change, and he doesn’t like taking risks. Of course he’s worried about you dating or thinking about dating or whatever it is you’re doing. He knows where that can lead, and it’s all sorts of change and risk.”
Jonathan has a point, he doesn't want this new relationship to cause harm or create major upheavals in the Kent household. But no doubt, once he has time to think things through and see how happy Clark is, he will ease back on the throttle.
So happy that in this story, Lois is more open to having friends and spending time outside of work. The emails are fun, but I can hardly wait to listen in on their phone conversation....
