“Oh, uh, they, um— it was going to take a while, so I thought I’d come back and just, uh, review a couple more pages, you know, since you were worried about getting through it all tonight, and then it’s just a few blocks down, so I thought I’d just go back and pick it up.”
LMAO NO ~ He picked up a page and gestured at her with it, proof that he was reviewing, an uneasy smile on his face, before looking down at the page.
I can just picture this!!  The scanner, which had been quiet, suddenly crackled to life. “All available units, there is a 211A at Fenwick Jewelry and Gold on 3rd Avenue.”
Lois froze, but Clark immediately stood, his chair scraping the floor overly loudly in the pregnantly quiet room.
“That pizza must be ready by now. I’ll just head over and pick it up.”
DEAD, I AM DEAD ~ “Where did you say it was?” she followed up.
“Just uh, a couple of blocks down.” He gestured weakly in one direction, then the opposite, backing toward the stairwell door.
“Two blocks down?” Lois tried to pinpoint.
“Three, um, maybe four. I’ll be right back, before you know it,” Clark said as he escaped out the door.
He is so fried  “Well, that’s what you would do. That’s not what I would do.”
LMAO peak Lois! The names of these Italian places!! I love them!! “Uh, wow, Lois,” Clark said, depositing the box on his desk. “You’re really up on the local pizzerias, huh?”
“I order out a lot,”
The dialogue is just top notch! Gotta love Clark's insistence not to flat-out lie xD And Jimmy's behaviour all throughout poor kid! Dropping into her chair, she bit into the pizza like it had betrayed her.
It tasted so good that she nearly forgave him on the spot.
The contrast! *g* God, the man had just put out an apartment fire, responded to a burglary alarm, and then gotten her the best pizza she’d probably ever had.
Aww ❤ he really is super! I'm curious about tomorrow!! This was so much fun, a perfect accompaniment to the first story! Thank you for sharing!! ❤❤❤
What we've got here is failure to communicate...
