Her dad because the commitment of his own family proved too much for him.

Paul left her because Linda was willing to give him what Lois wasn’t ready to give.

Claude left her because he thought he had gotten everything he could gain of their relationship.

And finally Lex, who left her because he didn’t want to face the consequences of his own actions.

Would Clark even tell her that he was leaving or would he just run away?

When you think about all the men who have failed Lois, it is totally understandable that she feels Clark will do the same.

She hadn’t known his parents were in town. How could they have this talk with his parents nearby? Lois felt stupid, how would she explain waiting on his balcony at this time of night? His apartment didn’t even have a separate room where they could go to talk in private.

When you think about the layout of Clark's apartment, there are only two places to go for a conversation with any privacy. The bathroom or the balcony.

Balcony, it is.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.
