She chuckled. "Well, unless it works out with this one and she eventually decides to marry him. Who knows?" Lois was sort of teasing him now, but he was as cute when he was flustered as he was when he was being innocent. "Otherwise, she'll probably date more than one boy, yes."
Lois had to smile. "That's right. And I promise that any time we know she's out on a date, you and I will do something to keep ourselves occupied so that you won't drive yourself sick worrying about it. How does that sound?"
Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, her voice dropped, both softer and quieter. "I love you too, Clark. I'll be home, soon."
