What a fun story! SmallBalls - that cracked me up! I liked the interaction between Lois and Clark. You captured Lois’s competitive streak very well.
I almost feel sorry for the manager making the announcement that the game could not take place due to logistical reasons. He obviously wasn’t familiar with Lois Lane’s reputation.
I love Lois and Clark’s compromise. Dinner at a nice restaurant in Paris followed by the countdown together back home in Metropolis is very romantic.
Thanks for an entertaining fic!
