Hi Evie!
her voice as bubbly as the soap lathering the pan in her hands.
That’s a cute one!
and the sound of the light creak in the door that had been present since he was a kid, though it was too low for human ears, he’d since discovered.
Things he learns while sneaking Lana up to his room as a teenager.
“We figured you’d be late, so I saved you a plate,” she said, moving toward him with a warm smile.
Jonathan: your mother is taking rhyming lessons this semester at the Smallville Community College.
Martha pulled back, and gestured upstairs toward Clark’s childhood room. “We’ve still got some of your old clothes upstairs, if you’d like to get comfortable while you eat.” Without waiting for his reply, she went on, “Let me get that plate out of the oven for you!”
It wasn’t a subtle hint, and he fought to hold back a sigh.
MARTHA: Lois still a fan of my homemade chocolate chip cookies? I’ll make sure they’re fresh when you bring her by the next time. I’ll have your old room set up for her.

It wasn’t a lie, he told himself.
The sun here was food to Kryptonians.
Instead, she followed the example he’d set over and over again lately.
She let it go.
And with her reluctant yielding to his feeble excuse, he felt himself sink inexplicably further into his Super façade.
Poor stupid dear.
He gave her a quick smile and turned to leave. He didn’t need super powers to feel her concerned gaze on him all the way out the door.
She might want to start talking to Lois.
This was a heart-wrenching scene.
