Dodecal Challange #10: "An unexpected catastrophe mars Lex's wedding preparations. What it it? Describe (and enjoy doing it!)"

This dodecal is dedicated to lexluvsclark in honor of the great love she bears Dr. Helen Bryce, and the Helex relationship in general. Ingrid, this is for you!

Lex rattled the knob of his closed bedroom door. "Helen?" His voice betrayed only a hint of unease. "Let me in!"

The latch clicked, the door opened. Helen stood in her slip, pale face and sunken cheeks framed in long dark hair.

"You look like the walking dead," Lex observed. "Shouldn't you be dressed?"

"I can't go." Flopping onto the bed, she curled moaning into a ball.

"Helen, it's our wedding day. The ceremony is in two hours." Lex put a gentle hand on her brow, noting her clammy skin with dismay.

"The shrimp cocktail," she groaned. "The rehearsal dinner."

"Ah," Lex sighed. "Clark just called. Lana is sick, too."

Lex's bride, whose skin had gone from pale to green, clamped a hand over her mouth and bolted for the bathroom.

As the phone rang again, Lex wondered how his father had managed this one.
