Yeah, this is gonna be tough to wrap up in four parts, but you've pulled it off so far, so I'm going to stay with you to the bittersweet end.
Clark really wanted their relationship to be just sex. And he won't admit that it wasn't. If it had been, he wouldn't have considered popping Dan's brains out through his ears. And it definitely wasn't just sex for Lois. If it had been, she wouldn't have reacted as she did when he suggested calling a halt to their bumping and grinding. And she wouldn't have reacted so badly to Superman's ill treatment of her when she was with Dan.
Don't worry about the chapter ending seeming to be abrupt. Sometimes life and feedback can be like that.
