It had been over half a century since their last conversation of a personal nature.
Aaaaand here's the first dagger to my heart.
Why he was required at this … proceeding …
Hmmm....
standing in the plush office, surrounded by strangers … all in black.
<Heart sinks> She's dead, isn't she?
They found a way though: it was bequeathed to the Superman Foundation.
Gotta love how smart they are.
There, the Last Will and Testament would be read out of one Lois Joanne Lane.
Ah, my second guess. My first was the funeral.
It was handed over with the instructions to fly to her apartment and enter 'in the usual manner' and only then was he to open the envelope.
Hmmmm....
She knew. Clark, you idiot, you wasted your chance at happiness.
I admit that I purposefully put myself into trouble sometimes just to see you.
LOL! I'll bet!
The loss of my best friend has stayed with me every day since.
<reaches for tissues>
You've been lonely for sixty years.
Beautiful and heart wrenching story! I'm fighting a huge lump in my throat right now, seriously. Well done!
Of the three endings, I don't like the one where he burns the letter. It's too out of character for him to destroy something, anything, that was connected to Lois, especially if it reminded him of her love, no matter how hard the reminder might be. The farmhouse one - that's what I kept hoping for...that he was being given a glimpse into how much his life would suck if he didn't figure out how to resurrect Clark. (Though the aging thing would be off canon then...he didn't know about that until BY, which was after TOGoM.)
