Quote
Clark moved a lock of hair that had fallen over one of
Lois' soft brown eyes, and gently placed it behind one ear.
He gazed longingly at the beautiful woman standing in front
of him. She was so brilliant, so gifted, and so utterly
incredible. He looked deep into those eyes, searching for
the love reflected there.

"...I...I can't wait that long. Where could we be married
in a hurry--say tonight?" he said, as he reached out and
lightly cupped his hand next to her cheek. He moved his
thumb ever so slowly over her delicate cheekbone and leaned
in to kiss her, as he had done so many, many times before.
But this time it was completely different, this time they
were....

"Stop!" Martha Kent's voice rang out from the third row of
seats in the darkened auditorium of Smallville High School.

Clark pulled back and turned toward the sound of the shrill
voice. Lois took a couple of steps back and folded her arms
across her chest, a gesture closing him out- -a gesture
Clark had become all too used to this past week.
