I also loved this part and the part about the novel and page one, line one, page one, line two was awesome! (and the inside joke was
).
I also liked their going to church, with the people there so accepting and not bombarding them with questions - that certainly makes it easier for Clark to go out into public again next time.
The turnabout of her asking a question and him choosing the activity sounds very fair
And your right, Clark is naturally very cautious and he isn't going to kiss Lois without knowing her reaction and being absolutely sure that is what she wants. I think this Clark is just a tad bit more cautious that canon Clark given his imprisonment and lack of "worldly" experience.
Looking forward to the next part (as always)!!!
