No more hearing her heartbeat.

But…

He *could* hear her heartbeat. Right now. Slow and steady, bringing his own heartbeat into sync with hers.

She was here, in the Planet building.

He exited the elevator and moved to the top of the ramp. Yes, there she was, arms folded on her desk, head on her arms, sound asleep.

She’d leaned back into him slightly, and rested her head against his shoulder. He’d had to reach down quickly and grab the balcony railing tightly in an effort to keep himself grounded.

And he’d had to bend the railing back into shape the next morning.

It sounded like she was more concerned with Clark at the moment.

She seemed to have developed a slightly proprietarial air about him with their co-workers, especially Cat.

She looked up at him, eyes shining with delight, and he could feel his heels start to leave the floor.

“Trust me,” he finally replied, “it'll be better for you this way. You don't need a partner, Lois. You never did.”

As he turned away again, he heard her whispered reply, “I know. But now I want one.”

Normal for Lois and Clark, anyway.
