An excellent part!
I love this story.
He had somewhere to go; somewhere in the big city where he was welcome. Where his host knew all about him - how he was different, and that he might not be human - and she still wanted his company. His companionship. Maybe even his friendship.
I can sense Clark's relief and his surprise that Lois really does want to work and be with him. Hopefully he will realize that Lois means what she says. That he doesn't have to run any more.
“It is important,” she said, contradicting him. “But that's not the only reason why I needed to tell you. I think you have something you need to tell me too. About the reason why you can't let yourself trust me when I say that I'm attracted to you. The reason you assume that because you're different no woman could ever want to be with you. Don't you?”
Lois certainly is perceptive. I love her confidence and trust in Clark. Her story about Claude is so heart-wrenching.
And Clark wanting to teach Claude a lesson is great.
I'm completely hooked and can't wait to read the next part.
