A taste of Chapter 10, Part 3...
Lois typed away on her story, wishing the strange looks from her co-workers would just stop. How many of them made a wide berth around her desk, now? OK, so she had had a loud meltdown at work again. But that was par for the course for her, wasn’t it? Sure, usually her diatribes were in defense of Superman – and that latest breakdown had been about Clark. A dream about Clark as far as anyone, but them, knew.
She put a hand to her head. What was wrong with her? When was she going to be herself again? She needed to focus her energies so her life from the other dimension didn’t ruin her life in this one.
Lois glanced over to Clark’s desk. He had run out of there, loosening his tie, about ten minutes before. She hoped he would be back soon.
It had worried her when she started spouting off about how the other Clark and Ultra Woman had treated her, but she couldn’t stop. Did her husband think she was being jealous of the other Clark’s attentions on his new girlfriend? There had been some of that, but if her Clark had caught a whiff of it, he had been kind enough to let it pass. She sighed, thinking again how she was the luckiest woman in the world.
Perry walked out of his office with another man. “Oh, Lois. Where’s Clark? I wanted the two of you to meet…”
Lois turned around. “Mr. McTinney!” She gasped, her head spinning. No! Not the man who had become Editor-and-Chief of the Daily Planet in the other dimension.
The man grinned, flattered at her knowing his name, and stretched out his hand. “You can call me, Gareth.”
