Recovery, Chapter 2, off to beta
Glee! I got another chapter finished, finally!
Lois was surprised to note that only fifteen minutes had passed but they’d, nevertheless, managed to come up with a pretty substantial list of things to do. She pursed her lips as she reviewed it all. “Will you be able to get to all of this while I’m out of the office what with” - her hand sketched a flying motion suddenly ducking downwards - “Superman and all.”
Clark seemed to fold inwards upon himself. “You sound upset, Lois.”
She blinked, looking up at him. “I’m not, really. Well, a bit at Perry. He seems to mollycoddle me ever since that whole thing with Luthor.”
“You’re sure that’s all. You’re not upset at” - his stutter returned suddenly - “S-s-s-superman?”
Lois sighed again. “Superman’s a whole other issue. I don’t blame him for being the number one news story. Heck, I helped make him that. I just wish. . .” - her gaze flew over his shoulder and out to the newsroom where Richard White was in close conversation with another reporter - “I wish my life was less complicated.”
Now off to clean the living room and the like!
