I, too, am a sucker for honest Clark, which makes writing his dialogue challenging sometimes. Especially in a moment like this, when you *know* he would not be able to bring himself to lie outright to Lois. But I was determined to stay true to canon, so Clark confessing all at that moment just wasn't an option. Not for this story...

Thank You!!!
That's it exactly! As I just said above, writing Clark's dialogue can be very challenging sometimes, especially when he's trying so hard to be honestly deceptive as Superman...

Beautfully written, BrenRen. Let more of those plotbunnies out and let's see them multiply like rabbits in Australia!
Once more, I offer my humble thanks! I promise to let more of those plot bunnies see the light of day... Just as soon as I finish the last few chapters of my current WIP. Unless one starts screaming again, driving me to complete distraction until its needs have been satisfied... with these guys, you just never know! And some of them are kind of... scary!
