This was wonderful, Brucie. Even though this scene has been done and re-done countless times, you have set a new spin on its complexities and nuances that.
She loves Clark, but not in the way he wants. She loved Lex and felt that, in a way, he loved her too, but not in the way he wants. Either way, she isn't broken by the fact that she won't see Lex again--not like she was when she thought she might not see Clark again.
I like how she notices how heavily he holds her, as well as noticing how he looks like he went through a war-zone to get to her.
