Amazing chapter! Lois bandaging Clark's thumb, then the hug and kiss! Wow!
Love the back stories about Paul & Lana. How very similar Lois and Clark are. And their shared laughter. They both desperately need and have found a friend in the other.
And then the reality of their lives come crashing down. They recognize they can't do anything about it, and Lois accepts Lex's proposal. And all in the same chapter.
Really enjoying this story!
