Yes, she'd identified his interest then as an incipient crush. And she might have been right - at that point. Since then, though, his feelings had deepened. He loved Lois Lane. And he intended to show that he knew the difference between his boyish behaviour then and the behaviour of a man who was interested in a woman.

In not much more than an hour, Lois Lane was going to discover what it was like to be taken out to dinner by Clark Kent.
Well, this just made my night. <G> The only problem with reading soon after you post a section is that I have to wait the full time until the next part!
Great section ... Martha's nudge was cute -- I, too, hope it doesn't backfire on her (though I have to admit, seeing L&C take a little good-humored revenge when this is all over could be ever better
) And I love that Lois realizes that Clark could change his mind at any time about the "mystery woman". Don't give up, Lois, you haven't lost him yet!
And, of course, the section I quoted above ... go get her, Clark!
Part 7, please!
