Sorry I missed this when you posted it, Julie! But at least I caught up with it now.
And this is just like all the rest of your writing these days (when you do actually
finish anything and post it!) - so, so good. Writing in the DW fandom has really been good for you!
Loved this - so typical Lois, jealous yet pretending she isn't, and Clark so oblivious. And then the classic Lois babble, where stuff she never intended to say just escapes.
