"I made a mistake. I still want you. I still love you." The words tumbled out.
Tears pricked Lois's eyes, and Clark watched as she began to tremble beside him.
"You’ve put me through hell the past three weeks!" she hissed.
"Yeah." Clark hung his head. "I did the same to myself." He kicked the elevator floor lightly in frustration. "I let my fears get the best of me."
"I have fears, too, Clark! I was willing to talk about them, though! You’re too busy hiding behind Superman. Instead of running away from me to save the world, you’re running away from me to avoid your fears." She crossed her arms and turned away from him. "You think I don’t get scared every time you fly off to save the day? That I don’t worry that some bad guy has a chunk of Kryptonite ready to use on you?"
"So… we both have fears." Clark realized for the first time. Lois feared for his life as much as he did for hers! "You’re right," he said, still looking at the floor. "I screwed everything up."
This is totally the conversation they should’ve had in the series!!!
Looking forward to the conclusion
