"What the hell are you doing here?" Lois screamed. Everyone in the office turned around and looked at her.

"I…work here," Clark said mildly.

"Last I heard you were in Paris with your little family," she said. Lois happened to look down at his hand and saw there was no wedding ring. She looked up at him; his eyes were dark, full of pain.

"Long story short, Lana and I got a divorce. We have joint custody of our daughter, Amanda. I get to see her on weekends. Lana is a fashion designer and I decided to go into journalism and since I know Perry, I asked him for a job as a reporter, and well, here I am." Lois was dumbstruck. She just stood there, not knowing what to say. Luckily, the silence was broken when Perry came in and said "Lois, I need you in my office, ASAP!" She was frozen, she felt as if she were floating, not really there." Perry face turned red and he yelled, "NOW!"

When Lois got in his office, Perry was fuming. "So you and farm boy know each other?"

"Yes, we're. Friends" He laughed. "That's bullshit Lane, and you know it. You two were yelling at each other, friends don't do that." He was shuffling papers angrily. "Listen, you are going to have to get over it, because he is your partner." Her eyes widened. "What!"

She stormed out of the room and sat in her office. Clark came in and handed her some papers, then started to walk out. "Wait, Listen I am sorry I got all pissed at you, it just I haven't seen you in so long." He walked back to her desk.

"How about we go to lunch?"

"Alright"

They ate at a little Italian bistro about a block from the office.

"So, how do you know Perry anyways?

"Well, He came to Smallville once. I never really liked him much. How's Chloe?"

"She is in heaven. She is engaged, got the job of her dreams. She is coming down here in about a week, bringing the new fiancé with her."

Clark motioned towards her ring, "Looks like she isn't the only one engaged, who is the lucky guy?" Uh-Oh…Should she tell him? She knew he would be royally pissed. "Uhhh….Lex Luthor."

He didn't get mad, he didn't even act surprised. "Why?" She didn't really have a good answer. "He makes me feel good about myself."

"Do you love him?" Ouch, what a loaded question! "I don't know, not yet."

She decided it was time to change the subject. "What about Lana?" Clark face turned dark. "I was coming home from work one day and caught her in bed with another man."

Ouch, Lana had cheated on the one man she said she wanted to spend her whole life with him that whore! "She said she wanted a divorce so she could marry Ted, the French painter that I caught her with. I gave her, her wish. Now she is married to him." He was cutting his steak so hard; Lois thought he was going to break the plate. "What about your daughter? How old is she now?" His face brightened at the subject of Amanda. "Mandy is four, soon to be five. That girl can talk up a storm." Lois was confused. "But is she is that old that would have to mean…"

"Yes, Lana was three months pregnant when we got engaged."
