Now I have a new favorite chapter
“Oh, tall, dark and handsome, I guess.”
“Like Luthor?”
Nooo, Clark! Why did you say that?
“So, that’s the only reason?”
She felt her cheeks heat. “Of course.”
That's right, Lois, be vulnerable in the dark and give him more clues
“Lois, you know that I would follow you to the ends of the earth.”
Not knowing how to reply to that at all, she muttered, “Well, I think we’re there now, so, sure, I’ll believe that…”
She felt his chest expand as he took in a breath.
“Us,” he answered.
Wow, I didn't think he would actually have the courage! I loved it.
she was actually relieved that he’d pushed this conversation on her in the dark, where she has some camouflage.
It will be hilarious if she finds out he's Supes in this story
“I can’t— I can’t help but respond when you do that. Anyone would respond this way to you doing that.”
I can't believe she basically went with "You're a man, I'm a woman. You want me to draw a diagram?"
Sometimes she wondered if it would be easier for them to communicate if they weren’t both investigative reporters, versed in interview techniques and in sidestepping questions.
Something to think about, indeed.
“I have.”
“You have?” Her brain worked that over rapidly, parsing his meaning. He had already done something about it? Did he mean by prompting this conversation?
Present perfect strikes again...
I just found out that "wahid" is also the number one and a masculine name meaning "unique". Cool.
She rolled her eyes. Of course Mr. Photographic Memory spoke much more Arabic than he had let on.
A perfectly reasonable thing to think when your leg is bleeding but is numb, so you can't feel anything. Not even joking, it's probably something I would think too
