Lois met Clark’s gaze and then they both turned away as Perry continued to lament their dear departed newspaper.
It is so sad the DP has died.
Clark wrapped his arm around her shoulders once more,
Yeah, more touching.
“Where’s the ring now?” Clark asked her.
Does he know she is not wearing it? I guess he would have taken notice of that.
because I refused to take it with me to the Daily Planet after I heard it had been bombed. I didn’t want to chance Superman being hurt again,
This would be a more powerful line if she dropped the façade of pretending Perry doesn't know.
especially when he needed all his strength to deal with the rescue.” She gave Clark a slight squeeze at his waist.
Yes, she is communicating the issue with Clark.
“No pressure or anything, but I like the idea of Henderson keeping the ring in evidence,” Clark stated as he followed her towards his front door.
At one level I agree with Clark, but it would tip their hand to Luthor.
“Let’s keep it that way,” he said, sounding as if he took her words literally… and about his secret.
Well, we really hope Lex never learns about that. Good thing he never got to Globe so he does not even know to think that Superman dwells among us.
Clark took the faux opportunity to place a soft kiss on Lois’s lips.
Yes, more kissing.
Lois set her free hand on Clark’s chest again and lowered her voice so soft that Perry wouldn’t hear her. “I’ll never stop loving you.”
I am glad she is saying this as she leaves.
He threw open the door and rushed as quickly as humanly possible to her side.
Yes, they get to be together longer.
He shook his head. “You’re insane, Wanda. How are you going to sing with a swollen jaw?”
I like him using that name again.
pressing her lips to his before jerking instantly away.
Yeah, another kiss.
“Who I associate with or what I do in my private life is none of your concern.”
It is when she is acting to further a legal investigation.
“All except the ‘fear’ part, yes.”
Yeah, Lois does not fear, at least not for her own life.
Henderson’s eyes bugged. “It’s worth how much?”
What, did he think Luthor was chincy?
“I doubt it. He’s a pretty observant fellow,” he said,
Especially when the ring is on the woman he loves.
eyeing her for some strange reason.
Is he wondering again what her relationship with Kent is.
For a glorious two minutes that afternoon, Lois had seen a future with just her and Clark in it.
That only lasted two minutes. How sad.
or, better yet, all of them.
With the amount of energy they have put into investigating Luthor, I hope it is that one.
Her mind shifted as she recalled how wonderful it had been to be held by Clark, kissing Clark, freely with no secrets holding them back from expressing how they truly felt about the other.
Sounds like she will suffer even worse Clark-withdrawal symptoms.
“May I ask why exactly I would do that? Just out of curiosity, what charges do you believe I should level at her?” Henderson asked smoothly.
I love how Henderson has turned the tables.
“No. Do answer that!” Lois demanded, rising to her feet. “Why do you think I’m here, Lex?”
She does have a good point.
“You’re not under arrest?” her fiancée asked.
Lois:Unlike you, I am not a criminal.
Lex pulled Lois into his arms
Gag.
Lex took her into his arms again. “Are you all right?”
Lois: Yes, but no thanks to your attempt to kill me.
“Lois?” Lex said gently and with some surprise. He knelt down beside her and set a hand on her back.
Gag again.
taking extra care to make sure she rubbed her dirty face against his crisp clean collar.
Good for her.
Lois sniffled and wiped her running nose on Lex’s handkerchief.
She should have used his sleeve.
“Why would some crime boss be after you, an upstanding businessman?”
Somehow I don't think this will be enough to catch him.
Lex smiled gently as he ran a hand down her hair. “Why wouldn’t they be, darling? I’m the second richest man in the world.
What? When did he move up to second?
would have to be that Clark changed his whole life to create another persona to shelter their love from the light of day.
I hope she is not too disappointed when she learns this is not really why Clark has done what he has done.
“This is why I have asked you to place restrictions on where you go alone and with whom you meet. It’s for your safety.
Sounds more like a way to kill her career.
“For the time being, Ms. Lane will be staying with me at the penthouse…”
That is extremely presumptive of him.
I will not stay the night in your apartment until we are husband and wife.”
Trnslated: I will never spend the night there, ever.
Lex had the audacity to blush. “I would never presume…”
He just presumed she would move in with him.
