And yet another wonderful chapter!
Nice seeing them as a couple, and going to church together.
I had been wondering which of Lois's two options he was going to choose, but this chapter seems to indicate he balked on both of them. On the other hand, the preview implies that maybe (hopefully?) he was convinced to choose option 2? Or maybe a fully clothed neck massage was all he felt comfortable with? I'm VERY intrigued now to see what happens in the next chapter. (Tonight? Please? Pretty please? Pretty please with a cherry on top?)
I loved this whole chapter, and I could quote so many different things. But, I think I'll end by quoting the following. This just brought a lump to my throat:
Lois smiled at the memory. "Could you hear my heart thumping?"
"No," Clark said. "All I could hear was my heart thumping."
"*You* were nervous, too?"
"Intensely."
"But you must have known I couldn't hurt you. I didn't have a rod with me."
"I wasn't nervous about you hurting me. I was nervous about doing something that might scare you away."
Awwww..
Loving this story....
