Lana obviously got a different sensation from Daae.
You bet.
I’m moving to Chicago and you are coming with me!”
What?? Prepotent, aren't we?
I don’t want to start over. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my life here.”
Maybe he had not been clear enough. Lana obviously had a different view about their situation. Possibly it was like Mayson - she gave signals that she wanted a relationship and Clark didn't say anything to the contrary, so she imagined he was ok with it. I believe it was the same with Lana - she insinuated they were much more than friends and Clark didn't say anything to contest it (he just negated it when she was not with him).
He attended events with her, took her to the movies, spent time with her, so, in her mind, she must have believed they were in the way to a relationship. It was a bad Clark's trait: even when he was not interested he was unable to put a stop to women's advances for fear of hurting them. And it led them to believe they had a chance with him.
Finally Lana said, “So the Daily Planet and Metropolis itself are not what’s keeping you here … it’s Lois Lane.”
I don't know how she got that conclusion from what he said...
Maybe she put other pieces together.
It was funny how hearing that Swiss accent felt so right. Even now, as she turned out the lights the soothing tones felt comfortable and easy, much more so than Clark’s rumbling voice.
She's a goner...
It was great fun for them to be together … even if he occasionally ducked out on her with the most ridiculous excuses she ever heard.
At least in this universe he didn't tell her the secret. Phew!
He had ‘hinted’ at having a little company for the trip.
Oh, how subtile of him. [img]

perhaps she would be going to Chicago later rather than sooner – after a brief stop in Santorini.
Yep, she is a goner. And Clark is free!
Thanks for the story and the epilogue. It helped to clarify what Lois interrupted in the wee hours of the morning.
