Prologue – The Invitation
Clark. Everything good or bad in my life has always been about Clark, my best friend. Well, the one I use to call "best friend." I am not sure he considers me that way. Not since the day, I stormed out of his life five years ago. I never thought I would ever read his hand writing on a package address to me. I wondered opening the letter, how he tracked me down. At least he didn't come himself to see me but chose to just send a letter. A thick and heavy letter I may say by the weight of the item in my hands.
It begins,
Hi Chlo,
It's been a while. I miss you. I have something very important to ask you and I can't think of anyone else that I would want by my side on this occasion. I know that we have had a fallen out in the last couple of years, but to me you will always be my best bud Chloe Sullivan. There is so much that we have shared with one another that I couldn't bare not to have you with me and I hope sincerely that we can put any difference aside just for this one day. I am writing because I would like for you to be my best man, in this case my best woman.
You guessed it, I am getting married. Included is your invitation to the wedding. I wanted to come and ask you in person but I was afraid that you would close the door on me without a word. Chloe, please, I hope that you can be there for me. If you can't, I'll understand.
Your friend,
Clark.
I re-read the letter, over and over, not believing what I am reading. I can't help the tears that I feel swelling up in the back of my eyes. But I keep them wide open, not allowing them to fall down my cheeks. Clark is getting married. I look at the package and retrieve the invitation. My heart skips a beat as I read the names "General Sam Lane" and "Senator Martha Kent". Oh God, Clark and Lois! I don't even know when the package slips from my hands with a small thud and I grab my face unable to hold back the tears as I let myself slip to the floor. I shake my head thinking "no, God no, this is not true, please let it not be true, not Lois, please let it be anybody but not Lois."
