Delightful part. Sad that Clark didn't take any of the several openings you arranged to enlighten Lois. Loved seeing Lois back on track instead of being blind.
Hi Framework4!
The end of this part is less than 48 hours since Lois rejected Clark in the park, while seriously considering Lex Luthor's proposal. While they've made great strides, Clark is not yet ready to tell her everything. After hearing the plans Luthor made with Mrs. Cox, he's also preparing himself for battle. Is he ready to potentially also do battle with an upset Lois if he reveals himself? At this point he's trying to avoid that confrontation until after they resolve the issues with Luthor. How successful he is will be explained in the final part.
Glad you like Lois, who isn't blind to Lex throughout this story. With Superman not outright rejecting her and hinting that Lex is dangerous, she was able to logically think about who Lex really may be under his urbane charm.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
