Great part. I love how Lois has gotten over her fury and her sense of being betrayed. I really like the way Patrick put it - you have allowed time to provide both with perspective. Lois is no longer angry at Clark for breaking up with her, and Clark is not angry at Lois for breaking up with him for breaking up with her. I love that both are proud of each other. I love that they are friends, because they really are - there is no way they would be so happy about sharing an award unless they were really friends. So yes, they are friends, happy and proud friends, but they are also sad and melancholy.
Of course they need to be more than friends. And of course they wish that they could have their old relationship back, only better. And I think they will be overwhelmed by their need to be together, because this is a Squidfic. Let me put it like this, Squid - you have written some fantastic fics where Lois and Clark have suddenly become overwhelmed by their need to be together!
