I completely agree and that's what I loved about it. When Clark and Lois get together you can see how much they grew to get to that point and how the attraction was kind of always there but they pretended that it wasn't.

Miros I am not sure you'll be watching this but this was also one of my favorite scenes before they got together romantically because it showed shades of how close Lois had gotten to Clark. She was sad that Clark was leaving town.
