From Chapter 6
“Clark, do you mind if I ask you something?” Lois said into the silence.
“No,” he said, his curiosity rising.
“If you don’t want to answer, that’s OK,” she said. “Just say so.”
“Is that what you always say to people you’re questioning?”
She grinned at that. “No, of course not. Which proves I’m not questioning you.”
He conceded that with a slight nod.
“If you were one of the farm kids who wanted to try something different, what would you do?”
Clark hesitated, tossing up between the truth and making up something on the run.
“It’s OK,” she said. “You don’t have to answer. I know there are reasons why you have to be here right now.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to answer,” Clark said.
“Then what?”
“The truth is unbelievable.”
Thanks for reading!
