[Dodecal #10 - An unexpected catastrophe mars Lex's wedding preparations. What is it? Describe and enjoy doing it.]
Clark could go nowhere but school. Visitors were allowed only in the kitchen with a parent present. Martha thought it a little harsh, but she had faith in Jonathan's judgment.
The second week of school, Lex stood at her kitchen door again. "Come in," she said. She hadn't seen him since everything happened.
"Thank you, Mrs. Kent. Is Clark - may I see Clark?"
"He'll be back any minute. You'll have to visit in here, I'm afraid."
Was Lex fidgeting?
Clark came in and froze.
"Clark." Lex sounded oddly gentle.
"Lex. I...."
"I should never have married Helen. When the JP got sick, and the cake was recalled, and you didn't show, and your parents left, I should have known."
Clark glanced up at Lex shyly. It was a more direct look than he'd given anyone since he got back.
"I should have known, Clark."
