Fantastic! You handle conveying emotions so well.
I'm surprised that Lois isn't planning to call Clark's parents to try to speak to him. If she didn't already have their number from her visit there, it would be easy enough for her to find it. Yeah, the talk with Jonathan or Martha might well be awkward, but under the circumstances, I'd think that she would deem it worth it.
Of course, there's always the possibility that Oliver is lying and Clark really is at Eprad, but I rather doubt it. After all, the Kent farm was the first place that I had thought he would be, even before his apartment. (Of course, I have an advantage Lois didn't have: I saw ASU.)
I'm looking forward to seeing how this story turns out. Do you have any idea when you'll be posting part two?
Joy,
Lynn
