Surprised? Try "stunned." Although I had, of course, expected them to get engage eventually, I hadn't thought it would happen for another few parts at least. Of course, technically they aren't yet engaged; although Lois has proclaimed that they are, Clark has not officially agreed to it. He certainly hinted that that was what he wanted, but he never outright said it, and if he misinterprets Lois' motives, he might still decline the engagement.
BTW, I really liked the line about if anyone could make her forget Clark, it's Superman. That's a nice turnaround from her canon way of thinking.
Also, is it safe to assume from Clark's choice of entree that you have read late 1980's or 1990's era Superman comics? IMO, that was the best era for Superman.
