Chapter 18. While writing Lana’s parts of the story, I listened to Rachmaninoff's Prelude Op 23 No 5 in G Major. I started to think of it as 'Lana's Song'. This song is dreamlike, wistful, almost sad. I imagine Lana has these wistful dreams of her life with Clark but sees them slipping away and this piece captured those emotions well.

And then we have the bear that I poked. You may disagree here, but I always thought that, in some weird, very messed up, perhaps even psychotic way, Lex loved Lois. I also thought he was very independent and prided himself on not needing one, so I had some fun surprising him with the unnatural emotions (to him at least) of looking forward to the possibility of a child.

A fairly short chapter, which is why there are two today. Thanks for reading!
