Great story! I remember waiting anxiously as each part was posted--and I was thrilled to see that there was an epilogue!
....I love you're style of writing--it is so easy to picture the scenes playing in my head as I read your stories...
Awww...such a descriptive way of showing Clark's love...especially liked how you used the word 'murmured'--it captured how enthralled he was
:
"Come on in," Clark said, closing the door behind her. He stood on the little landing and indulged in a long, slow, sensual sweep, his face so etched with appreciation that Lois could feel the touch of his eyes as clearly as if it had been his hands wandering across her body. "You're so beautiful, Lois," he murmured.
Loved how Lois 'tested' him--awesome way of Lois coming to terms with all of Clark's news...and the fact that Lois was behind a wall sticking her tongue out at Clark is really funny! :
Lois marched into his bedroom. Once shielded by the wall, she said, "What am I doing?"
Clark gave a grunt that could have suggested humour.
"Well?" she demanded.
"You're poking out your tongue."
Lois retracted her tongue and moved back into his sight. She marched up to him and put her hands on his chest, pushing him back against the window. Picking up today's copy of the Daily Planet, she stormed up the stairs, opened up the Death Notices, and held it up. "Read the fourth one from the top," she instructed.
Clark pushed his glasses down his nose. "Bailey, nee Campbell, Ava Elizabeth, born 22nd of December, 1901, died -"
Really liked this line...it added a lot before her question about flying
:
The reporter part of her wriggled out from under the mound of shock and shook off some dust. "Is it just the flying?"
Loved this part and how the 'deal' Lois made with him gets them back to the apt. so the proposal could begin! :
Lois reached up and kissed him. "Let's go back," she whispered.
She thought she saw the flicker of Clark's disappointment. "You've have enough of flying?" he said.
"No," she said. "I want to do it again tomorrow. And the next day. And every day after that. But we had a deal."
Really enjoyed this story--and the epilogue was a fantastic way to get Clark's secret out and get them heading towards the aisle!
