Thank you for finally dragging this story out of your hard disk. It's so sweet *sigh*.
When I saw the episode for the first time I was so sorry for Clark after he sat on the kitchen floor, surrounded by the debris of his house. And then upstairs when he almost crashed the bedroom-door as he tried to flee out of the room -- I really wanted to give him a hug so badly you cannot imagine it at all. So while reading your story I was really glad that he kind of got that hug from Lois *happilysigh*
Thanks for sharing the story
