Katie, I LOVED this!! What a very sweet thing, to have you write a story for me.
I was wondering how one got birthday fics written for them. <g> This was such a treat!
I especially loved this:
"Night, Lois," he said back to her, wondering what she'd do if he planted a tiny kiss on her lips.
As if she read his mind, her lips parted ever so slightly, and he leaned over to kiss her. It was a brief kiss, but it felt wonderful to the both of them. Clark smiled at her, and the expression was mirrored back to him on her face.
Awww!
And this:
Slowly, he put his arms around her and pulled her body close to his, into yet another soothing hug, and this time, there was something more to it than just comfort and friendship. And it felt good.
Perfectly written! I love how you separated the last sentence. It put such a lovely emphasis on your meaning.
And who couldn't help sighing blissfully at the ending?? Wow! I love endings like this that hint at wonderful things to come. Nicely done!
All in all, this was a truly wonderful treat. How could I possibly thank you enough? Man, we should celebrate someone's bday daily if these are the kind of fics that get posted in celebration.
Thanks much, Katie! I owe you one.
