Summary: Clark has trouble with his toast.
A/N: written for
sv100 prompt: past prompt/ green.
Clark slammed yet another book of poetry closed and thumped his feet against the loft floor in frustration.
He knew what was expected of him. His role was very clear: make a joke, compliment the bride, toast the couple. Be clever, be brief, and get out of the way.
His big problem was not so much finding what words to say; it was the words he wanted to say, and knew now he couldn't.
