I’ve only delayed the inevitable. And it is inevitable; it’s been so ever since Lois Lane barged into my job interview and into my heart.
Having delayed so long, have I made it so that losing her is also inevitable? Lois doesn’t trust easily; having gained her trust, I now have to destroy it.
What else will I destroy in the process?
Yup, scary time ahead for Clark, but he has to understand and be patient that Lois will eventually understand why he behaved the way he did. Not easy, but it can be done.
As always, your ficlets pack a punch!
