I'm enjoying the flashbacks to Jon's relationship with Amanda. I can see why he's gunshy. I just hope he realizes eventually that Kaylie is different. I also hope he doesn't pull a Mandy when he finally learns her secret!
We made eye contact for less than a second, yet it was long enough for a fierce jolt to shoot through me. I watched the man’s suit-jacketed back disappearing among the crowds of people walking down the sidewalk. It couldn’t possibly be… Could it?
She recognized him! Oh, I love it!
I could see a red blush crawling up his neck. Oh, he was so busted.
“Jor, you know that I would never go against your wishes and try to find out who you are, right?”
“I know,” he replied hesitantly.
“And even though I know what you look like now, that doesn’t change anything. When you think about it, how many people work in that area? There’s Chow Towers, The Daily Planet, LNN, and the old LuthorCorp building all within the same few blocks, and those are just the big ones, not even counting the smaller buildings and companies. And I’m hardly ever in that area of the city so it’s unlikely that I’ll bump into you as you again.”
“All right.”
“I would never betray your trust like that. This relationship is too important for me to risk it by doing something so stupid.” Jor smile faintly and I felt him relax beside me.
This is very mature and sweet, but I don't think I'd have that level of patience! But Kaylie is coming from a completely different place than I am.
Very nice, Beth!

P.S. Oh, goodness, it just occurred to me - is Kaylie even her real name?
