Lois shivered in the oversize t-shirt she wore for a nightgown, hugged herself as bare feet descended the cold wood of the staircase.

She was on a mission. Dealing with Lucy always took all her energy. One piece of Martha's cold baked chicken would do the trick.

Springs creaked in the front room, one low voice, then another.

Clark had company? Lois gripped the banister and peered into darkness, straining to make out words.

Lex’s voice, “I’ve missed you.” Her eyes gradually focused. Lex and Clark, side by side, slumped on the couch. Close, very close. One hand wound in Clark’s coarse dark hair.

“Me, too,” Clark turned to press his mouth to Lex’s scalp, settling in even closer. “It’s been awhile.”

“Too long,” was Lex's soft whisper.

Muffled murmurs. Lois listened, thinned lips and nodded. So that’s how it is, she thought. O-kay.
