Clark Kent sat in his loft pondering his situation. Lois Lane had been living with the Kent's for a while now, and things were beginning to return to normal for him (well… as normal as they could be). Besides, it was nice having another friend, especially with all the things that had been happening to him. His relationship with Lex had slowly been deteriorating, and he missed the companionship. His best friend, Pete, had moved away, but all these events seemed irrelevant when compared with Clark's greatest problem. He missed Lana. The one he loved for years. He missed her just being around him. She had been busy with Jason and in between being possessed by a witch and trying to find out the truth about her boyfriend, she had less and less time for Clark. Their trip to China had been the most time they had spent together since she had left for Paris. His recent relationship with Alicia did not help the two either.

Clark loved Lana, he never questioned that. He loved her more than he loved anything else in the world. If given the choice, he would give up anything, even his powers, for her. The time in which they had been together was Clark's fondest memory. He remembered how happy it made him to hold her in his arms. He also remembered how he eventually hurt her. Every time he thought they would have a chance to be together, something always got in the way. He wanted to be with her, but she did not deserve the 'baggage' that Clark came with. The only thing Clark wanted more than to be with her was for Lana to be happy. She could never be happy without knowing Clark's secret, and that would be too much of a burden, as shown by Pete. He also feared her response. If he wanted to open up to her completely, so that they could be together, he would have to tell her that he had killed her parents. He was an alien, he was different then everybody else, and as much as he wanted to deny it, he did not know how he could live if Lana did not accept him. No, he could not allow himself to be with Lana because he loved her too much. He may like another woman, he may even love another woman, but he would never love anyone the way he loved Lana Lang.

Lana sat on her couch while reading a magazine, and enjoying a glass of milk. She had been very content with her life. Sure it had been a little rough (being possessed by a witch was never easy), but nonetheless, she was somewhat content. She had been living with Jason for some time now, and she was beginning to question whether he was the one she wanted to spend her life with. She had feelings for him, but they were not the same way she felt about Cla…

Her thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone. She heard Jason pick it up.

"Hello? No, not here. I'll be right there. No it's no problem. See you Lex." Jason closes his phone and walked to where Lana was sitting.

"Lex needs you again?" Lana asked.

"Yeah, I'll be back soon though, I promise," Jason replied reassuringly. Before Lana could reply, Jason was already on his way out. Lana sat there confused. After a minute, she heard a knock at the door. Hoping it was Jason coming back to say goodbye, she hurried to the door. To her disappointment it was the postman.

"Miss Lang?" he asked.

"Yes that's me," she replied.

"I'm extremely sorry, but we found a letter in our offices. It was sent months ago. We apologize for the inconvenience."

"It's no problem. Thank you."

As Lana closed the door, she wondered who she could have gotten a letter from. She opened it up and saw it was from Alicia.
