A classic story line is always a gem. You had me wondering about what Lois what get Clark that would fit. And you didn't disappoint.
She hadn’t apprehended then how much she did, in fact, love him. She hadn’t fully known it until that horrible night when he had died. In the hours before she first saw his clone, she realized how much he meant to her. The thought of life without him was devastating.
Great explanation for Lois' feelings towards Clark. That sort of experience would cause most of us to evaluate things.
Personally, I'm a fan of most versions of this theme so keeping that last paragraph in adds to feeling.
Great job!
