Corrina,

My first reaction when I saw this was: whinging !!!


I am a sucker for pitiful, heartbroken, obsessing Clark, putting Lois's happiness above all else. Yeah, he's a lunkhead, and yeah, he needs to be hit over the head with a 2 x 4, but gosh my heart just goes out to the big guy. Always did.

The meal he had made for Lois’s birthday was there – untouched - exactly as he had left it last night.
I love how you are able to tell us so much with this one little sentence.

Quote
He knew Lois mourned that, for them, making love could not result in the child they both wanted. He understood that the act had lost something of its beauty and power because it could only ever be for the here and now, never for the future.

But he hadn’t known it could bring her to tears.
Wow. That has got to be devastating. <shakes head> Poor, poor Clark. I have a feeling I'll be saying poor, poor Lois soon. Off to read (I presume) her side of the story in Part 2......
