Drabble(?) or a hundred words, at any rate. Spoilers for 'Obscura.' With thanks to FridayAngel for the advice.
things that Chloe does: shallowness
Chloe Sullivan makes him think of old beds –
creaking and moaning.
His ego tells his eardrums to take it,
because this is better than the
uncertain quiet whispers
he used to hear.
Chloe Sullivan makes him think of old beds,
of her desk at the Torch,
of that time in his truck
before they got to his house.
Chloe Sullivan makes him think
about his future
and options that weren't his father's idea first.
He's getting used to her leaps,
discussing what he does
not because he does it…
just because.
Chloe Sullivan makes Whitney Fordman think…
about Chloe Fordman.
