“Do you know what I see when I look at you?” he asked her seriously.
She smiled softly and shook her head. “Mad Dog Lane?”
He shook his head solemnly. “I see a woman, not only grown up and capable, respected at what she does, but a woman fulfilled as well. Able to use all of her unique talents – those of brain and of body – and self-confident with it. An equal to Superman, Lois. And an equal to me, Clark.” He smiled sweetly at her. “I saw you like this long ago, but now –“
He turned her gently so that they both faced the mirror on the wall near the door, and stood behind her, his hands on her shoulders. She looked back at him out of the mirror.
“I see someone who finally believes it, too,” he finished simply.
This is so touching.
“Clark… Will you marry me?”
I wasn't expecting this, but for this story, it is perfect.
This story was beyond wonderful, Janet. I truly loved it!
