Summary
She regrets saying it, even as the words are still tumbling from her mouth. “I knew this would never work.”
“What does that mean?” She’s scraping her plate into the sink when he presses again. “What does that mean, Lois?”
“I don’t know. I just…I told you I’m not good at relationships.” Lois wasn’t sure exactly what she was hoping for, but it wasn’t the sound of her front door closing, and the quiet that swallowed her up whole. She leaned against her palms on the edge of the sink, arms locked straight, and let her head and shoulders droop down until she was looking at the floor, taking two deep breaths. He’d gone out the front door, so he’d have to be moving at a normal human pace for the time being. It was a coin flip on whether he’d gone down to street level and walked the three blocks home on foot, or whether he’d taken the stairwell up a floor to fly off from the roof. If it was the latter, he’d be gone before she could catch up. If the former, he’s probably still waiting for the elevator.
