Okay, I'm enjoying these. Great start Tank and Sas. I particularly liked that straightforward revelation!
You do, of course, realise that you are setting too high a standard for the rest of us to follow. Here, let me lower the standard a little.

Lois's chestnut hair shone; her skin was the texture of porcelain. Her eyes danced and she was smiling.
Clark had never seen her look so breath-takingly beautiful.
No, he thought. Not true. She'd looked just as beautiful the first time they'd met, when she'd stormed into Perry's office. She'd looked beautiful for Luthor's ball... for the Kerths... on their first date. She'd even looked beautiful caked in sewage and covered in cement.
She'd looked beautiful because he'd loved her.
He still loved her. Now, looking at the posthumously painted portrait his children had just unveiled, he knew he'd never stopped.
