[Facebook] A tale of two men?
Lois had been... okay, not avoiding Clark per se--she wasn't going out of her way to be where he wasn't or anything. A little less present by his side during the day, maybe. She decided to forgo her habit of stealing his coffee, and of sitting on his desk and keeping him from working until he'd agreed to proofread for her.
And it wasn't exactly because she wanted to avoid him, either--he was the best friend she had, after all--but things always got a little awkward right after she had to turn someone down.
(Not to mention she probably would have at least agreed to one date, even if it wasn't going to work out in the end, if it hadn't been for--
Well.)
And, well, he had said to tell him if anything... changed. So maybe it wasn't just one of those momentary-whim type things (though this was Clark, he always took relationships so ridiculously seriously that seemed unlikely anyway.) Either way, the whole thing was a mess now, that much was clear. Hopefully it wouldn't make things with Clark too horrendously awkward in the long term, but you never really knew, did you.
Which is why tonight she's curled up on the couch, CNN muted in the background, determinedly making her way through a pint of Rocky Road.
