“I…I was afraid it was something like that.”
This reminds me, are we ever going to get to see Jimmy's reaction to all this? He's been absent for quite a while!
“Please, Clark,” she whispers. “Save me one more time.”
Oh goody, Lois is going nuts!
“Lois!” he bites out her name. Stern. Irritated. Even angry.
As much as I can sympathize with her cause, Lois was being insensitive here. that was an awful way to pull Clark back, especially under the circumstances.
“You’ve told me about how your heart was broken. Have you recovered?”
Great point. I didn't even think about that!
And now here they are. Allies by circumstance. Nothing more.
To be fair, you can't just expect to waltz back into someone's life after causing that much damage. Normally Clark would see things from her side, but this is a little bit different. Clark's personal well-being should always be more important than his public image, and I think that's where Lois screwed up here despite her very good intentions!
Very sad chapter, but it was very well-written. Keep it up!
