After Clark freed himself and Lois of the Kryptonian lie detector, Lois hugged him and broke down. "I'm so sorry, Clark. I should have told you sooner." She sobbed.
"It's ok, Lois." He replied hugging her tight.
She shook her head. "No it's not. And I never wanted you to find out like this. I was such a fool for pulling you into this."
Clark kissed the top of her head. "You did the right thing. If you hadn't put me on this story with you, you'd be dead."
"I know. It's just, I never told you how I felt because every time I dated someone, I screwed it up. I didn't want to do that again and mess it up. I didn't want to rush into things." She said pulling away enough to look at him.
"Do you wanna know what my answer would be if he got to ask me the same question?"
"Yes." She replied wiping her tears.
"I was gonna say yes."
"Really?"
"It's the truth. I've always loved you, but thinking I loved Lana more than you back then blinded me. But the truth is that I belong with you. Not Lana. And I'M sorry for not telling you before."
"That Valentine's Day thing with that lipstick..."
Clark cut her off. "It was laced with red kryptonite. Red kryptonite brings out the truth in people. But I was too stubborn and blinded by my feelings for Lana that at the time, I didn't think I felt that way about you. I thought you were only my friend. Not my potential soul mate."
"And as for me, it helped me to realize that I was only fooling myself. I was then too stubborn afterwards to voice it, that I denied everything I truly felt for you. So I lied and said I only wanted you to be my friend and nothing more."
"So what does this mean?" He asked looking in her eyes.
"I think I want to TRULY try and make us work. I'm still sorry however, that you had to find out this way. I put you in danger as well as myself for a stupid front page story and you almost died. I saw the way you flinched from the green kryptonite. I know your secret. And I want you to know, you can trust me. I could never tell a soul who you are. But you also owe me an explanation."
"I'd like that. And I'll tell you EVERYTHING when we get home. You're staying at the farm with me for the next few days. Just until I know you're safe."
Not wanting to argue, she nodded. "Ok. Agreed."
Clark half smiled and helped her up. Then he picked her up bridal style and super sped off to the farm.
