Oooh, cruel cliffhanger! I'm hoping there's no 'omg, I'm about to die better tell Lois the truth' revelation imminent. I rather like her being kept in the dark for the time being. Although if she does find out/realise it's her best friend in that bed it'll make it that much worse for her.
Love the penultimate sentence. Very poetic.
Please don't leave us hanging too long.
