I'm not pointing and I'm not laughing, Angel. This is a very touching piece, and I agree with you that Mayson was a very interesting character who was underused in the show. I always liked that tough, hard exterior coupled with her wistful vulnerability when dealing with Clark and his indecision.
And since it's set when it is, you could go any way at all with it. You could set up a love rectangle with Clark and Lois and Dan and Mayson, or you could pair off Dan and Mayson and let Lois dance around Clark for a while longer, or you could go in a completely different direction.
And I like the way Clark is learning about Mayson's feelings for him. It's going to present him with a tough choice: respond to her overtures (which could be interpreted, falsely or accurately, as pity) or gently reject her advances (which might or might not give Lois the push towards Clark she needs).
I like this. You're handling Mayson's life with sensitivity and grace. Keep up the good work!
