Chloe got home right on time. She'd wanted to leave early, possibly spend some more time with Clark today, but school projects and deadlines always got in the way. She was about to drop her bookbag in the usual spot by the door when she stopped short.
Candles. Everywhere. They would be a fire hazard if she didn't live with someone who could put out fires just by breathing. Of course Clark still had to be here, right? He wouldn't leave candles burning unattended.
She stared, wide-eyed, slowly smiling and following the path of candles back towards her bedroom. What was up Clark's sleeve? She reached the telescope after a minute, a slow grin getting bigger and bigger. Biting her lip, she pulled out the cark and read it. "...Clark?" she looked around. He had to be here.
