[quote][She almost gave her life for me. How can I do less than offer her my heart and soul?
Now I’m back, standing in front of her door. I take a deep breath and pat my pocket, making sure that the small velvet box is still safe before I raise my hand to knock.
I’m going to do it.
I’m going to ask Lois to marry me.
And then I’m going to tell her about Superman.

So nice to see a positive, happy Clark! Yes, Lois proved once and for all how much she truly cared for him by sacrificing her life to save his parents. What better proof of true, lasting love?
As DC said, seeing these glimpses into Clark's mind let's the reader know how difficult it is for him to be who he is, but that there's a fantastic support system!
