That's from Yvonne Connell's 'Trust Me, I'm a Reporter'. I could place the episode, but it took me a minute to remember which story it was. <g>
Brb with a new quote!
Ok, found a good one <g>:
He leaned forward and seized her lips with his again in a fierce,
passionate kiss. He wanted, *needed* to make love to her, to give
them both what they so badly wanted. But....
She tore her mouth from his. "Superman... Superman, take me home.
Take *us* home, please!"
He made his decision on the spur of the moment. "Lois, we are home,"
he told her quietly, humbly.
She gazed back at him, eyebrows furrowed, clearly not understanding.
"*My* home," he told her.
She shook her head in confusion. "I don't... oh, do you mean you
*live* here with Clark or something?"
He wrapped his arms around her, drawing her head onto his shoulder
and burying his face in her hair. "No. I live here. Alone."
She didn't reply, and the stillness of her body suggested that she
was still baffled.
"Me. Clark," he murmured at last, and waited for the explosion.
She pulled back from him, staring at his face; her hands pulled at
his hair, ruffling it and dragging strands down over his forehead.
"My God! Do you mean... I was right the first time! When I saw you...
you *were* Clark, but you were just pretending to be Superman? I
don't believe... you *fink!*"
She stopped abruptly, seemingly too shocked to move, but continued to
stare at him. Then she spoke again, muttering agitatedly to herself.
"No. You can't have been Clark - you *flew* me up to that
washing-line. And Clark can't fly...."
"I can," he told her quietly.
The expression of shock seemed to be frozen on her face as she simply
continued to stare at him; he felt his desire subside as it was
obvious that any lovemaking was now definitely not going to happen.
He wondered whether she'd hit him if he tried to put his T-shirt on.
Did he need to explain further? Possibly. "Lois, I am Clark. And I am
Superman. There aren't two of us - there never were."
He watched in horror and disbelief as she began to cry.
