Lana paused at the library door, having hurried over to the manor without taking time to change from her community-service gear. Lex looked up from his laptop and waited for her to speak.

“I owe you a huge apology,” she began with a self-deprecating smile.

“Don’t worry about it,” he said smoothly. “It’s over.”

“I’m sorry. Ever since Clark and I...we...it’s been hard. Lonely. I guess I was vulnerable, and when Seth came along, my judgment wasn’t the greatest.”

Lex rose to his feet.

“Lex, you’ve done so much for me. How can I to make up for my behavior?

“There is one thing,” He stepped closer.

Lana waited.

Lex grasped her chin and tilted it upward. Lana felt his mouth on hers and tensed, then relaxed, melting into the kiss.

Lex drew back with a smile. “Stop stealing my cars,” he murmured.
