"So, how did it go with Clark?" Matha asked, as her and Jonathon got ready for bed that night.
"I think I shocked him.
As soon as mentioned Lu-Lex's name, he got all defensive, and when I invited Lex for dinner, you would have thought *I* was the alien the way he was looking at me!"
"Honey, we talked about this. Clark's bound to be a little defensive – I mean, you've never exactly hidden your dislike of Lex, and now, here you are, suddenly all ready to get to know him.
But you're past that now.
So, did Clark say yes?"
Jonathon smiled wryly as he remembered.
"Not exactly.
However, once he got over the shock, he beamed at me and gave me a huge hug before speeding off to Lex's – guess that means yes."
Martha smiled somewhat triumphantly.
"Good, good.
It will have meant a lot to Clark Jon, what you said.
Admitting you're wrong is a hard thing for any parent to admit, but it was what Clark really needed to hear.
He needs to know that we're ready to support him concerning Lex-"
Jon yawned widely, interrupting his wife.
"Yes hun, I know.
We've talked about this when I first found the diary.
Come one now though love, lets go to sleep.
We've got a long day ahead of us.
They both got into the bed, and snuggled together closely.
"Goodnight honey"
"Night my love"
