Hehehe. Lots of great parts here.
“Assuming, of course,” Clark chimed in, “that the ‘ideal mate’ she mentioned doesn’t call a press conference and scoop us.”
LOL. Somehow, I doubt that will be happening. :p
I loved your descriptions of Lois and Clark's differing reactions to Perry, particularly this one:
Clark looked like he’d just been told a funny joke in church during a sermon. Lois looked like she’d just bitten into an apple and found half a worm.
I also loved this bit from Perry's thoughts, as it had a very Perry White flavor with all of the "know that he knew" and "knew that he knew" stuff:
Back when he’d known that Clark was Superman but hadn’t wanted either of them to know that he knew, it had been tough at times. Now that they knew that he knew, it was easier, but making sure that no one else picked up any clues from his conversations with them was still stressful.
And pwahahaha at this:
Still, he’d rather have that stress than wonder why Clark had the bladder control of a gerbil.
"Uh, I gotta go pee, Chief."
"What in the Sam Hill are you drinkin', son? That's the third time this morning!"
"Uh, Gatorade?"
She and her husband – a decent man, if a bit dull – had been married for half a decade, yet there were no children.
Pwahahaha. I absolutely love her low opinion of Clark in light of her high opinion of Superman. Boy, she is in for a rough surprise!
As if Lois’ life wasn’t complicated enough.
Hahah. Indeed!
Great chapter. The soup is indeed thickening, and I'll be interested in seeing the garlic!
I wonder how long it's gonna take WW to figure out CK=S?
