They were both almost to the point of cancelling everything and eloping.
Safer, yes. More fun, no.
Oh yeah, and one more thing – we, have to set up Uncle Mike with Grace Chen.
Sounds reasonable.
He knew better than to put himself ahead of Lois.
“No, we are not matchmaking! It never works out,” Clark responded emphatically.
The voice of the Daily Planet’s editor boomed out, “Who’s matchmaking with whom?”
Oh dear!
“Nobody around here, Chief,” Clark said with a shrug
Good answer there, Clark.
“Hey!” Lois shouted to the newsroom at large. “My *fiancé* and I were having a *private* conversation!”
Oh, by the way, Lois, nice suit, but the shoes don’t match!
He's part of the fashion police too?
She dived into the bottom drawer of her desk and pulled out a pair of black pumps.
Ha! Mike's sure got her pegged to a T!
“By the way, what are your parents doing today?”
Hmmmm....
“When are you calling Sam and Ellen to let them know Mike is handling everything?”
I'm thinking it's best to let Superman do that. After all, they can't kill *him.*
“I’ll see what I can do. But don’t get your hopes up! Maybe Mike can ask some of his old army buddies to stand guard while we eat. Consider it early training in combat…Lane family style!”
there is only *one* member of the Lane family I want to have ‘combat’ with. But since we have to wait a little while longer, is there anything I can do to make the rest of Friday night better?
Oooh! Naughty Clark! I like!
“My Lady and Lord, you bellowed?”
Ooooh! I could *so* hear him saying that! And smart man, he addressed Lois first!
But feel free to use my protégé, Jack.
Awww, I like that Jack's around. I wish he'd gotten more time in the series.
“He must have ears to match his stomach!” Perry said. “Well, don’t just stand there. Answer the phone! There could be a Kerth award on the other line!”
<giggles>
He’s pulled four jobs, all as smooth as silk and perfectly timed. Kinda like a good soufflé.
Just wonderful. Love this.
Gotta go. I smell a tuna fish salad that’s just dying to be my new best friend!
Ha! Perfect!
Clark joined Lois at her desk and said, “Great, we now know this guy isn’t interested in hurting anyone, he just wants loose gem stones. It should be easy to track him down.”
So wait - four robberies and Superman doesn't know about it? Wow, Clark is *really* into his wedding plans!
Clark’s mind went back to his early days of backpacking through Europe. He remembered the scent of freshly baked breads and pastries which had just emerged from ancient stone ovens and how those aromas tantalized the nose of a lonely young man far from his homestead. How the taste of the hot crusty breads made him yearn for the simple Kansas farm and all its familiar comforts. There were an assortment of pastries, breads, and delicate sweets to satisfy anyone’s fancy; he choose chocolate croissants for Lois because of her penchant for the flavor.
Simply beautiful paragraph. Now I am hungery.
The brunette’s head snapped up quickly, she smiled and said, “Oh yes we do!”
Oh boy!
