Nice, for all the reasons Diane stated... kinda sad, but well-done. Although the idea of Lois pacing on Clark's porch day after day was kinda funny, too <g> You did a good job showing how his hopes have gotten dimmer and dimmer with every day that she just leaves.
But then she just leaves...
A long sequel might be good, although it's hard to keep up the first-person POV over longer stretches of story, in my experience.
Anyway, good work, and you definitely *are* a writer.
