Woohoo, you posted the long awaited reunion!
She stepped forward and reached out to touch the silky locks. "Your hair is..."
"I know. Way too long. I’ve been meaning to get it cut. I just haven’t had the time."
Immediately transported back to another time when they’d said those words, Lois was almost overwhelmed with emotion. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I was going to say stunning,” she whispered in his ear.
Love this call back to
that night.
Still can't believe he was gone for so long. I can't imagine how Lois and his parents faced the uncertainty of his return. And poor Clark missed out on so much.
"It's not like that. There is nothing I want more in this world than you. It took me a long time to realize just how vital you are to me, but you've been gone a long time."
Clark thrust a hand through his hair in frustration. What the hell was wrong with him? She was right. There was so much for him to process- for both of them to process. "I'm sorry."
I'm glad they got this out in the open right away. She wants him, they wasted too much time before being apart,
but they also need time to adjust.
"It really is good to have you home," she told him, a small smile gracing her lips.
Nothing but a slight shake of his head. He didn't trust his voice. When he'd closed himself off in the bathroom, the warm spray of water cascading down his back, he finally allowed himself to breathe again. Once more the tears came.
Awh
