Shayne, this is fantastic — the pacing is keeping me on the edge of my seat, wondering how it'll all fit together. And your writing is superb. This, in particular:
Clark stared at her for a moment. Not friends? What had he done?

“I got married,” she said.
Oh.
Gah. That got me right *there.*
Can't wait to read the next chapter in this series!
