Clark sped away from the scene, the headwind drying his tears before he could even cry them.
In his haste to reach what he sought, he nearly shattered the loose floorboard. Only when he touched the sheaves of paper did his trembling hands grow still.
‘Clark,’ read Lex’s even yet complicated hand, ‘no matter how wide the gulf between us grows, I find I cannot stop loving you. And I have tried.
Burn this.’
As he cradled Lex’s letters, Clark realized he was smearing the pages with his ashes.
His eyes stung briefly; then flames claimed Lex’s words as well.
