Awww... I knew you were writing this, but I didn't think you'd get it out so quickly!!!
I love the way you've taken this scene and put it into words... the different thought processes, the inner struggle that Lois must have been going through at that point in the episode and in the story.
I always wished they'd delved more into how Lois (and Clark) coped in the aftermath of loosing things... and this at least opens that door for Lois.
Thanks for sharing.
