OMG! You know, it really isn't fair how awesome you are with weaving words together.
Really beautifully written. I love how open and earnest Clark is, and, like you, I love how ready Clark is to tell Lois his secret that morning. This is such a nice take on what could have happened. And it's both heartbreaking in ways to see Clark so afraid of how his confession could possibly break them. And it's also so refreshing to see Lois rationally thinking things over and not going into full on "be mad at Clark" mode.
I LOVE all the references to his reaction to her touch, particularly when she sees him as a flower turning to her sunlight. It's such an apt metaphor.
Well done!
More please!
