I'm amazed and in awe of the way you wove two complicated plots - A and B - into your first long story.
Clark belatedly realizing his idea of a surprise might not have been the best choice, their inability to get together because of their schedules, Lois's yearning for Clark and realization of how she now feels, Lois's reaction to the surprise and Clark's proposal in front of the newsroom are just some of the details that I love in this epilogue.
Next on my list is to reread the whole story to see what I missed the first time!
