Really enjoyed your story
Lois” he said, putting the deep pleading in his voice, “What is going on. It can’t just be the ageing going on. We have dealt with weirder things than this, and you had much less reaction. Only when I do things do you react this way.” Clark took a deep breath, “Lois, what did I do. Are you sad that I left you to go be Superman, I don’t know, what’s wrong
Enjoyed this paragraph--and got a kick out of the 'Only when I do thinks do you react this way' line. Clark definitely knows Lois and has settled into their relationship enough to know how to read her
.
“Lois” Clark said, “we can’t know the future. We just got married. We will have a long and wonderful life together. I will love you no matter how old you are, or anything. You know that honey.”
Little do they know that Clark will help Jimmy, and that this will help even Lois and his lifespans very shortly...Not to mention, with all the investigating (potential life-shortening) things the two of them get into, who knows what the future really holds for them both
.
So Clark took Lois in his arms and really kissed her. Then they went up to the newsroom to deal with the problems of the day.
Gotta love a good kiss at the end
!
Great story and answer to a challenge--thanks for the read
