“Are you ever going to talk about the Congo?” Clark asked.
“I don't know.” Lois said. “I like the way you look at me.”
Like Anna said, this is lovely, Shayne. And this, too:
“All I know is that you seem to like me for who I am.” Lois said. “And I need that. After what happened…I don't like me.”
I just hope that Lois will learn to trust Clark completely, and know that he won't censure her for what happened in the Congo. Because indeed, she needs to talk about what happened. And if she wants to get back to what she was, or at least learn to stay fully in control of her demon, she is going to need help. (Says I, the Buffy-illiterate. :rolleyes: )
Clark reached out and touched her hand. Lois closed her eyes. It was exactly what she'd needed. Human contact had been so infrequent that it now consisted of isolated moments, times that she remembered.
I love that he touches her, and that she loves it so much that she closes her eyes to soak up the feeling of it.
I liked how Lois and Clark went demon-hunting after that. And like Anna, I wonder if the demon they found in the end of this part will prove to be friendly.
I'm very glad you are updating this so frequently, Shayne!
