"It's easier not to care," Lois said, unsure if she were directing her words at Clark or herself. "And a whole lot safer."

"Easier," he echoed. "Emptier. Lonelier. More isolated."

"But caring always involves risk," Lois said.

"Of course it does."

"When you don't care, you can't be hurt."

Clark nodded sadly. "I suppose that if you don't want anything, you can't be disappointed."
This exchange tugged on my heartstrings. You really conveyed Clark's isolation well. He's really craving contact and emotional intimacy, and it's incredibly elusive for him.

Yeah, I wondered that, too.

So there's an opening at the church and the reception hall... it would be a shame to waste all that preparation and not hold a wedding for someone... wink

"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)
