Bakasi, I was definitely surprised—pleasantly so—at the positive turn of events. Lois’ presence at the fire and identifying of incognito Clark enabled an important conversation that Clark might have avoided if left to his own initiative.
So glad Clark found the courage and strength to open up and honestly share with Lois some of his experience at Bureau 39; and his current fears and concerns about intimacy and self-control of his powers.
And the upcoming date portends a hopeful future!!
BTW, I love patient Lois!! Especially this passage.........
A beautiful smile spread across his lips. And for the first time this evening, he let her see all the thousand watts he was capable of. Her need to kiss him was now overwhelming.
She picked up her chopsticks and continued to eat, before she did something to ruin the progress she’d made. Her time to kiss him senseless would come.
*Just you wait, Clark Kent,*she thought to herself.
I know they have a long way to go, but this a good start in the right direction. Looking forward to more. Thanks for another good story.
