I know what story Simona's is!
It's
First Night by Carol M
a really great fic I'd recommend you read it!
She watched as his expression softened, then he leaned over and kissed her.
"Thank you." He took his free hand and reached for hers, playing with
her fingers in a way that told her he wasn't completely ready to let go of
this problem. "I guess you're right. Sometimes people do crazy things for
the people they love. But, doing crazy things and being crazy enough to
kill yourself are two different things, Lois."
"But, honey, the coroner said that while it was unusual for a suicide to
shoot themselves in the back of the head, it wasn't entirely unprecedented.
The angle was achievable and they did find gunpowder traces on her hands
and the gun beside the body, remember."
"They also found a bruise on her cheek and another on her arm."
"Which she could have gotten in that fight with her boyfriend."
"Ah, yes," Clark replied skeptically. "The fight she mentioned in her
suicide note. But what if that note was phoney? Then those bruises could
have been caused by her murderer."
"I thought of that, too, but if her boyfriend was the murderer then why
would he leave a note lying around that could incriminate him?"
"Maybe he didn't know about it.".
"Maybe ..." Lois thought of another point. "Henderson said they haven't
been able to ID any boyfriend for her, anyway. Maybe she imagined him
because she wanted one so badly."
"And gave herself those bruises, too?"
Lois frowned as she thought over the various possibilities. "I know
it doesn't make much sense, Clark, but we've seen even stranger things than
this before."
They were silent for a moment or two, sipping their hot drinks. "This
whole situation just bugs me," Clark said eventually. "I feel like we're
missing some vital bit of information that would make it all fall right
into place."
"I know what you mean. Sometimes I almost think I've got the missing piece
of the puzzle, but then it turns out that it doesn't quite fit after all.
We both know how good I am at sniffing out conspiracies, but I just can't
see it here ... at least not with what we've been able to learn so far.
There's just this one pathetic girl who wanted someone love her, and
another even more pathetic woman who couldn't give up her fantasies about a
married man."
