This part had me scratching my head in some places, but still a very interesting read.
“I didn’t get to them yet. It took me all day to just get through Hager’s file….Ugh,” Lois groaned and ran her hands through her hair in frustration. “This story’s making me wish I had paid more attention to my father when he would go off on some medical breakthrough he was discovering. Maybe then reading these files would make more sense.”
Ah, the tedium of reading through reams of research material. Lois probably wishes she had powers like Superman's at times like this....
“Lois,” Clark said, reaching out and picking up her left hand. “You’re my partner and my best friend. You keep me on my toes and lift me up when I’m feeling down. You inspire me to help make this city a better place. You’ve done more for me than I can find the words to say. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world having you as my partner.” He brought her hand in his up and kissed the top of her hand.
“Clark,” she murmured, tears sparkling in her eyes. “No one has ever said anything like that to me before. Thank you.”
Oooh! Waffykins!
I look forward to the next part!
