“It feels like ... it feels like I just fell in love with you, Lois. I was never out of love with you, but every time I see you, something inside me wells up and I know ... again ... that you are ... you always will be ... the greatest treasure of my life.”
Sigh!
I am glad you also wrapped up the loose end with Lucy and Jimmy.
This exchange is so perfect and so applicable to all marriages
Clark shook his head. “You must know how excited I am about that, Lois, but this is about you ... my wonderful wife. And even in all the joy of the baby, I’m not going to lose sight of us – you and me - because that will always be the most important thing of all to me.”
Her hand was soft on his face. “We forgot that for awhile, didn’t we?”
He nodded. “But never again. I promise you, Lois, never again.”
“I promise you too, Clark.”
How many of us when we have busy careers and/or children loose site of the other one?
Beautiful story. I loved it.
You know you could always do another epilogue 7 - 9 months later.
