Another great job--wonderful
.
I knew you had written now a season's worth of these, but hadn't really thought about the total number (plus 'A Week in Paris). That is a LOT of writing! Definitely--don't burn out. Only do it if/when it's fun for you--we'll be here whenever you do post
.
You did a really good job of showing how confused Clark must be at this moment in the series. His enemy is gone/done/dead. The Planet is no more. His friends aren't around. And his best friend--who he is completely in love with--is now 'back'...but he knows she doesn't feel the same way. A very lonely time for Clark...
If he only knew
why Lois said no--if he only knew how much she was thinking of him...while walking down the aisle to marry someone else.
The finger crossing scene at the end of this episode originally was so frustrating to me. Take back your feelings, Clark? Start all over? 'Friends' and nothing more? Meanwhile both caring for each other.
Now though, the more I think about it, I sorta can see why Clark did what he did. He completely thought Lois didn't care--they were only friends. To have that awkwardness of his stand-alone feelings between them
would be uncomfortable. While Lois is adjusting to the truth about Lex/his death/'life' now included. Clark's fib gave them the ability to start over, rebuild their foundation, get to know each other (without pressure of feelings getting in the way).
Looking forward to more--when the time is right for you
