I wasn't expecting that Lois would tell Clark that she knows so soon.
Loved this line:
The excuse sounded lame even to her, but she couldn't tell Clark the real reason they'd broken up. That by the time Dan came back from Washington Clark had left and Superman was gone and she'd been a wreck. That Dan had broken things off with her, telling her to go to Paris, find Clark and admit that she loved him. She'd denied it to Dan, but had had to face facts herself. She loved Clark Kent.
Yeah, Dan. That's never going to happen. Then, Lois would have to admit that she was... um... not right.
I know that there's a lot of Dan haters on the boards, but this shows what a great guy Dan was underneath it all (not great fit for Lois).
A picnic lunch in Parisian garden. Sounds nice. Sigh. I'm glad that Clark's keeping a level head and not making everything about work.
He waved the sheet of paper. “It's a message from Brad Hancock, my contact in London. Bernard Young- the head of the restorations department at the Royal Academy- has been found floating in the Thames.”
That's just upgraded the story. I'm doubting it's suicide too.
She busied herself greeting her son and making tea. Trying to keep her question as casual as she could, she asked “So. How's Metropolis?”
“I haven't been to Metropolis.” He sounded genuinely puzzled.
“But you have seen Lois” Martha persisted, putting the teapot and cups down on the table. It was a given. Every time he saw her, he'd turn up at the farmhouse quiet and sad, looking like he had when he'd come to tell them he was moving to France.
There's no fooling Martha!
“You're right Mom, it's not. I would've told her eventually anyway, if -” Clark cut himself off this time, continuing in a more subdued tone. “I would have told her anyway.” He fell silent, staring reflectively into his mug.
I can just feel Clark's pain here. Poor fellow. The woman he loves has admitted that she knows and accepts his biggest secret. Too bad she doesn't love him back. Too bad Lois didn't tell Clark what Dan told her when he dumped her.
“So. Lois is in Paris. What are you going to do, Clark?”
“I don't know, Dad. I just don't know.”
Stay up all night doing Super stuff, so that's he's cranky in the morning when he sees her again? Just a thought.
Not a good thought, but Clark isn't known for making the brightest choices.
Too bad all that good Chinese food had to go to waste.
I'll take it here! Can't wait to see what our favorite duo will do next.
