Dammit
"You're not alone, then."
Well, this had been handled swimmingly.

"No, I mean--"
*Frustrated, Lois sighed as she resisted a very strong urge to headbutt the wall.*
"Look, the only reason why I've been avoiding you these past few days is because, well... I was afraid something like this was going to happen and I knew it shouldn't because you're--No, me--I'm..."
*She stopped and shook her head. It was ridiculous how she couldn't talk right or even think straight.*

"I was afraid of something like this happening, too." He said after a moment.
"I thought I could...resist...but it's hard to sometimes. If...if I weren't..." He sighed.

"--Wait so... you do feel that way?"

He met Lois' gaze levelly.
"Yes. I probably shouldn't say this, but if I'd met you first...things might be different now."

*Lois was relieved that she wasn't the only one with those feelings but she none of that showed. She was looking at him with both concern and confusion written on her face.*
"What do you mean?"

"I could see myself with you."

"I'm a girl with a lot of baggage," *she said as a sort of warning. Then again, she was in a way giving herself an excuse to not do this. Honestly, she was scared.*

That makes two of us with a lot of baggage.
"That doesn't make you any less in my eyes."

"Yeah, circumstances, huh?" *she said with a bit of a laugh, not that it lightened the mood any.*

"Circumstances seem to like torturing people. Showing you things you COULD have, but...no."
He sighed.
"I'm sorry. I'm not helping."

"No, actually it clears things up a bit."
*Noticing that they were still rather close, she stepped back.*
"Uh... "
*She finally felt the awkwardness settle between them and quickly diverted her attention to the books on the floor.*
"Almost killed myself over Dickens."

"I'm glad things were cleared, then. I don't want any misunderstandings."
He followed her gaze to the pile of books on the floor.
"Dickens is good, but I wouldn't say he's to die for."

*She quickly picked up all the books and the many pages that flew out when they fell. Once again, she had the large pile in her arms.*
"Can I be honest with you?" *she said, unsure of whether or not she should despite the fact that the words had already left her mouth.*
*Lois stood there, almost like she was hiding behind the stack of books.*
