I like that Lois treated Superman as a friend - there didn't seem to be any hero-worship or romantic feelings directed in his direction. That should really give Clark more of an incentive to reveal his secret - he can't believe that Lois doesn't have feelings for Clark in this situation.

Definitely looking forward to the next part. smile

More like only a week or so since the pheromone-induced night. So Clark is still being cautious with her and trying to remain as much of a gentleman as possible. (Don't worry, they will start bed sharing - platonically.)

Lois is definitely past the hero-worship stage (part of why she was willing to start dating Clark) and firmly in the friendzone with Superman. It *does* feel good to Clark, but there's still the simple matter of knowing that she actually *loves* him before it comes time to share any secrets...

Glad you are still reading and enjoying. Oh boy, does stuff begin to happen in the next chapter....
