I just read both parts for the first time -- I like!

Quote
“You’re in love with her, aren’t you son?” a voice interjected.

Clark looked up in surprise. “Is it that obvious?”

Putting his arm around Clark, Mike told him, “I’m afraid so. Come on in, and I’ll fix you some dinner.”
Aww, poor Clark. And go, Mike! I always liked Mike Lane; it was a shame we didn't see him again. He was so ... normal. And a really good guy. I'm glad he's on Clark's side in this one. smile

A great two parts -- I'm looking forward to the conclusion. smile
