Got it! With your second quote is easy! This is a new story, the wonderful
If I Were You by Caroline! I loved it!
Back in a few...
ok, an easy one, and from a story I re-read very often, I really love it:
"Aunt Opal, I'm here!" Clark called as he entered the hall of the townhouse. The walk from the Planet had been nice, if necessarily quiet; they had conversed only briefly, when no one had been close enough to think that Clark was talking to himself. He still wasn't quite sure what impulse had prompted him to invite Lois along to dinner; she would inevitably be relegated to invisible third-wheel status, which couldn't be much fun for her. He'd just hated the idea of her stuck in an empty apartment all evening ... besides, when she was around, he knew for certain that he wasn't crazy.
"I'm in the kitchen," Aunt Opal replied. "How was your day?"
Feeling awkward, Clark turned to where he estimated Lois to be, and gestured gallantly towards the kitchen.
"Relax, Clark," she told him with a hint of amusement in her voice. "You don't need to open doors for me; I can manage perfectly well. Anyway, you don't want to look like Jimmy Stewart in 'Harvey;' he was committed."
Clark grinned at the mention of the classic movie. "You're hardly a six-foot tall invisible rabbit."
"Or so you assume," she pointed out, laughing. "I'm just saying, don't make yourself look crazy on my account -- I'll be fine."
