Hmmmm. I made a wild guess last time, suggesting that Lois might already be in love with Clark. Well, in this chapter she seems like her usual season one obnoxious self.
On the other hand, Clark certainly seems to have fallen in love with Lois:
He looked over to her and his heart started beating rapidly. He studied her face, the straight line of her nose and her adorable lips. She was concentrating on the traffic and continued her monologue. He liked the warm tone of her voice when she wasn’t angry. The air was filled with the faint scent of her shampoo, mixed with her own unique scent. It was sweet and tantalizingly attractive.
How sweet!
I really like it that Clark saved Lois from her burning apartment. Yes, Lois and Clark have both had rough weeks, indeed.
“All I can tell you about that fire is that a miracle happened.”
“A miracle?” Clark asked, skeptically. “You call two people dying a miracle?”
“I call eighteen people surviving a miracle!” the man stated.
I love how that fireman made Clark realize that what he had done at that fire had been much more of a wonderful miracle than it had been a failure.
“Where are we headed to?” Clark wanted to know. Better be safe than sorry.
“A source, Kent. I hope you’re not hungry!” Lois replied mysteriously.
Ahh, they'll see Bobby Bigmouth!
“I’m sorry, Kent, I guess I’m behaving pretty badly.” Her sudden apology surprised Clark. “First with you and your daughter and now yet again.” She sighed.
“How about you call me Clark instead of Kent as a sign of reconciliation,” Clark offered. He held out his hand and Lois shook it.
“I’m Lois,” she said softly. “It was impressive how you made the fire fighter talk,” Lois added and glanced only briefly at him before she looked away. Her concentration was focused on the street again.
“Thanks,” Clark replied simply.
And what a sweet ending to this chapter. No, Lois is not in love with Clark, but she is not unaffected by him, either.
