Hi, everyone! Thanks for all the great comments!
First, I'd like to wish an early Happy Birthday! to Kaethel.
Several of you mentioned that Lois should have left phone messages. Well, she does early in the next section, so hopefully this satisfies everyone. Breaking up is not something that Lois would do over the phone, and also she can't be sure that Dan actually gets the message unless he calls her back. So that leaves her still in a quandary.
As for having two dates, well, you'll just to see what I have in mind in the next section.
I was doing an Internet search on flower colors and what they mean when I came across this interesting combination that I hadn't heard of before. I thought this color was just perfect for the situation.
For Tank and Kaethel: See if you catch a reference to Lois' hair in the next section.
I like how you explained Clark's guilt over Mayson's death - about it being more his sense of lack of closure rather than an internal loss of someone he had deep feelings for. Hopefully that will go a long way in relieving Lois of some of her insecurities. It always amazes me that Lois would ever worry about Clark's feelings for her when it always seemed that he nearly wore his heart on his sleeve from day one.
And thanks, Lynn, for the comment about Clark being guilty over Mayson's death. While her discovery of Clark's super alter-ego was a big reason for his distraction, I think an even bigger part was his inability to be straightforward with Mayson on his feelings, leaving her dangling for so long.
Lois dumps Clark and goes out with Dan, then they got married, have lots of kids and live happily!!!
Jose, maybe I'll do that in another fic.
I do have a reputation to maintain.
Thanks very much to Maria, Laura, kb, Kaethel, Julia, Crazy_Babe, Tank, Lynn, Chris, Jose, Tricia, Wendy, and Pam for commenting!
Thank you so very much!
