I liked this part.
A few tears escaped despite her valiant efforts to keep them in. I brushed them away and pulled her close to me. "It's okay to let it out," I told her. "The last few days have been an absolute whirlwind and I don't think you've let it out at all, have you?"
She shook her head against me as the tears began to flow in earnest. I didn't know how long I held her there, letting her sob against me, a few tears of my own leaking out as I realized again how close I'd come to losing everything that mattered to me, everything that made life worth living. It scared me again to realize how much of my well-being was wrapped up in one small brunette whirlwind.
I love a man who lets a woman cry rather than saying "don't cry" or "let me fix whatever is wrong." Sometimes it's better to just let it go. (of course I'm someone who cries EXTREMELY EASILY).
Of course Clark understands that most of what Lois is going through is the emotional rollcoster of their relationship, which he can't fix all at once. But it's still sweet.
I'm glad they're talking about whether they should move from Sam's. It' complicated. On one hand, their used to it, and so are their sons. Sam likes having them their, and is grandchildren as well. From a practical standpoint, if he had another heartattack, it would be nice if they still lived there as well.
On the Other Hand
, Sam DID invite them to stay there because of the security and because they were still in college. Since they don't need that anymore, and they DO both have jobs now, would they be taking advantage of him if they stayed? Would they feel guilty about it even if Sam doesn't mind?
one of those days and then we're going to a friend's house. I'd imagine it'll be up 10-noon ET though...]
