Clark needed to talk to someone. He was glad to hear from Chloe. He'd heard of the marriage to Lex.. and to say that he was unhappy about it would be an understatement. He didn't think Chloe was happy either. Neither was Lana, during their marriage.
Maybe Lex ought to stay single, Clark thought as he walked into the diner. He was unsure about meeting while the sun was still hidden. He wasn't at his best right now, without his abilities.
There was a bandage around his wrist. That had hurt. So he was hiding out at the Hyperion until it was over. And then he saw her. He saw Chloe. He walked over, gestured to the chair and said with an uneasy smile, "Hey there.. is this seat taken?"
