I am overcome with many of the feelings on the soon-coming end of my show, (Smallville). So to help myself (and maybe some of you) through this, I propose a.........

Plenty of opportunity for nookie there, LOL. I can imagine Clark asking Lois what she did while he was away, and Lois being like: "Ah, well, you know. Unpacked, got the apartment ready, had sex with Tess, wrote some front-page articles..."

Thank you, darlin'! I'm glad you liked my Tess-voice! <333
