Missing Lois - TOC A taste of Part 6:
Jonathan and Clark sat in the living room at the Kent house in Smallville, stuffed full of turkey, stuffing, and pie. Lois was on the telephone in the hall and Martha had fallen asleep in her chair, knitting needles in her hands. Jonathan stared at his son, who was staring at his Mom.
“Half-time,” Jonathan announced, standing up with a stretch. “How about you help me out in the barn, Clark?”
“Sure, Dad.” Clark pulled his gaze away from his Mom and put on his coat. “When did Mom start knitting again?”
“This fall, no, it was in August. Don’t be surprised if you get a new scarf for Christmas. You might warn Lois.”
Clark smiled. “I remember all those mittens she used to make me. It wasn’t Christmas until I found the mittens from Mom.”
They walked into the barn and Clark looked around. “What did you need help with, Dad?”
“You. What do you have on your mind, son?” Jonathan asked.
Clark looked away. “Nothing.”
Thanks again to my wonderful and knowledgeable Beta Readers who seem to know a little about everything! You're the best.
I try to post a new part every other day, but I will be taking a week vacation (sans computer - sigh) in early July.
As always, I enjoy any and all feedback. Thank you.
