Love this!!! Wonderful rewrite/fix, and Lois reaching the conclusion that Lex isn't right for her that night--AHHHHH! that just SOOOOO fits!!!
Plus, the silent interaction between L&C is just PERFECT!
But he had gotten her through it. They'd been stronger together than they had apart. To her, that seemed extraordinary.
He held out his arm to her.
It turned out that she wouldn’t have to deny their silent exchange during the night. He seemed content not to push her about the intimacy she’d allowed, instead offering the reliable chivalry that she'd started to believe in again -- because of him. They'd both let her confessions stay behind them in the dark, and she'd make sure they focused instead on what the light of the new day would bring.
She slid her arm into his, pulling herself close to him, and she felt her heart speed up when he smiled earnestly at her in response.
Better, she thought again.
Together, they walked toward the sunrise.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this ending!! SOOOOO perfect!
Thank you for sharing!
