Carol, what a lovely surprise to see this posted here! I've just gone back and skimmed through the earlier parts of the story to refresh my memory before rereading this, although, remembering how I nearly had heart failure when Clark kissed Rachel, I admit that I skipped "the date thing" this time.
A great way for Lois to make the CK=S connection...in Clark's arms. ::sigh:: I'm surprised she never realized it earlier. And I'm glad that she's not mad, even though she's trying really hard to be; after all, she does have her priorities straight - now she has Clark back.
"Yes, again. If you leave me like that again, I won't take you back."
Clark grinned at her. "Then I guess I won't leave."
Lois ran her finger along the side of his face. "I've missed your smile."
"I've missed everything about you."
I was cheering madly here, and sighing happily at the same time...
And the interlude in the clouds...wow indeed. Just lovely. A happy ending for everyone, all's right with the world again, and a great way to ring in the New Year...
Kathy (who's not at all surprised that Perry knows...)
