As people kept mentioning, this is not entirely new ground for Clark ... it made sense to me that Lois remembered it too.
No, I didn't mean 'thank you' for having Lois remember - it would have been impossible for her *not* to remember. I meant that, usually, if someone makes the same mistake twice (especially if it is a really BIG mistake, and it they had promised most sincerely that they would never do it again), we are likely to be even more upset the second time around - and Lois was pretty upset the first time, if I recall. The responses by posters here on the boards to Clark repeating his mistake were not all that charitable, either. So, I was thanking you for having Lois respond by recognizing Clark's love for her and his "self-sacrificing idiocy".
Also her realization that withdrawing from Clark emotionally this past year had left him without an anchor.
It really was beautifully written.
