Great story. I question only one thing - his decision to take her from Colorado all the way to Metropolis. If we had more context, like if Lois had been captured by Intergang West (or some other criminal or terrorist organization) and would know if she were admitted to a hospital west of the Mississippi, it would make sense.
In fact, that's the continuity in my head now. That's why he did it.
I want to know what she was doing that got her into trouble. I want to know why it took Clark - because even though he's wearing the Suit he's Clark at this point - so long to find her. (Large area to search, leaded decommissioned missile silos, all that notwithstanding.) I want to know why she went to Colorado in the first place - was she running from intimacy with Clark or chasing a story or on a vacation that got out of hand? I want to know whether or not that was her planned destination. I want to know how long she's been held and how long she was free and how she got away and how long she was hanging on that tree root. Be real nice to know why she thinks she needs his forgiveness - and if she's asking Clark or Superman for it.
Beautiful. Touching. Heartfelt. Evocative. This vignette is all those things and more. But it's not complete! This is like watching a trailer for a movie you really want to see because you have to know how the characters got from the start of the story to this place. I join the chorus for more! More! More! More!
