Very nice story.
First, I love the First Person Lois point of view. It really added to the story.
Now a few of my favorite lines:
“Actually, I was hoping you would come out,” he said, finally.
“Out? As in outdoors?”
“Yes, Lois.” He smiled at me, a teasing note in his voice. “You know, that big space on the other side of these walls with trees and the moon and all that other stuff you can’t fit in your apartment?”
“Aren’t you funny,” I replied dryly.
Wonderful revelation. Very creative and so WAFFY that I'm grining from ear to ear.
