Knowing that he didn't want her. Knowing that he didn't want her to know.
They really do have such awesome communication skills, don’t they?
CAT: There’s a reason Lois isn’t on the society beat…
"Lois, something is wrong. Please tell me." His voice pierced her heart.
LOIS: You don’t love me!
What about when she fibbed to him, or even worse … when he smiled at her? Could he tell that her heart raced, or skipped a beat whenever he entered the room?
She needed to be alone, to grieve the true end of all her fantasies.

It would reveal too much, open up the situation to things she couldn't deal with. "You should probably wash behind your ear before you save anyone else."

She'd offered herself to Superman the same evening and he hadn't believed her declaration. No wonder.
Huh…might she…?
His retraction was an attempt to protect his heart when she'd played with it.
But she…she *likes* to play with her toys!

Oh no! He’s mind-wiping her!
"No." Lois knew she needed to tell him the truth and risk her heart. "We're kissing because you're Clark."
Awwwww
He immediately dived down again, his arms holding her tight to his chest.
Oh boy. Now she’s done it…
"My physical heart is fine. It's my emotional heart I'm worried about."
Now look at that. Two hearts. He’s a Centauri!
You've no idea how many shooting stars I've wished on.
EPRAD TECH: Yo, Sam! Another satellite just went off course and into the Earth’s atmosphere.
SAM: Damn. That’s what? The fifth this month alone? What is *wrong* with the orbits these days?
"It will crumble into dust." She watched his expectant face flicker from hope to fear. "What if this is a dream?" He spoke out his fear.

you very nearly had a nocturnal visit from Superman on a few occasions."
Clark! What would your mother say!
"Because I want to stay … forever." Clark's eyes met hers and locked. Eternity passed as she breathed in and out.
"Okay." Her one word reply hung in the air between them.
Isn’t that the moment when Lois should shut herself in her bedroom?
She was pretty sure that Clark had just … in a roundabout sort of way … subtly, kind of, proposed. And she was pretty sure that she'd accepted.

All that practicing of her signature in the notepad was going to pay off.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
That was an adorable ending, Vic!
