It's late afternoon in Smallville, and you're at the Talon, sitting with Clark as usual. He’s telling you about his day, but your attention is split. Lana Lang has been popping in and out of their conversations lately, and you can’t help but feel a tight knot of jealousy form in your chest every time Clark mentions her name. Her laugh echoes in your mind, her easy connection with Clark rubbing you the wrong way. He had been in love with her for as long as anyone could remember but he had never been able to get close until now..when they started to become close friends and spend more time together than he did with you.
