Whoot! I was just thinking about this story last week and hoping you didn't really mean to end it with Clark and Lex in Splitsville!!

Clark has the tenacity of a bulldog and no shame to speak of. Good on him!! If that's what it takes to get through to Lex, I'm all for it, though I can't help but imagine that it's a beating to the ol' ego. *G* <---big ol' nostalgic smile
