"Collins I want a juicy story worthy of a headline by tomorrow got me" said the editor.

"Sure thing sir" said Paige.

"So how was Africa"?

"It was amazing Chloe, seeing the wildlife and then Clark took me to an amazing dinner".

"But we tried to get pregnant and it didn't work".

"Oh my god that's terrible" said Chloe.

"Well if you need help with anything you know I'm always here".

"Alright I got to go Clarks taking me horseback riding" said Paige.

"Have fun" said Chloe.

"It's good to know I can still beat you at something".
"Thanks for the afternoon, Clark" said Paige.
"Champagne, truffles It wasn't even my birthday".
"Overkill?"
"No, I loved it".
"But normally, that kind of romance comes with a tag that says "sorry I wrecked your car or I accidentally slept with your sister" said Paige.
" Well, to be honest Paige, you lately you've seemed a little distant".

"guess I've been busy".
"We finally get a chance to make this relationship work".
"It's not a big deal" said Paige.
"I'm just getting used to the new life" said Paige.
"Paige, I know what this is really about".
"You do?"."Between my cousin and that crystal from Krypton, it's been as far from a normal life as you can get" said Clark.

"Clark, If I wanted normal I would have rethought the part about dating a guy who shoots fire from his eyes".
"If everything we've been through was just for that it was all worth it" said Clark.
We should get out of here.

"Paige, you have to be careful with this speed thing" said Clark.

"It's a little like I was moving and everything else was frozen" said Paige.
"Clark, this is so cool".
"How come you didn't tell me it was like this".
"One of those had-to-be-there kind of things" said Clark.
"Listen Paige, it took me a lot of time to adjust".
"Relax, Clark".

"You live with these abilities every day".
"I think I can handle it" said Paige.
"Yeah, but we don't know that for sure".
"And Paige, a human with my abilities can be dangerous" said Clark.

"We have to find a way to get rid of them".
"Eventually yes, but being on an equal playing field could have its benefits" said Paige quoting "sex".
"Like what? Paige".

"I don't think that's such a good idea" said Clark.
"There's no harm in trying".
Next morning
"Paige,I guess I should go out and fix the barn" said Clark.
"You're X-raying me"said Clark."My God, that's amazing! You can do so much with this" said Paige.

"Well, let's start with you not getting so up close and personal with my vertebrae" said Clark.

"I just wish this had happened a long time ago".
"I always tried to guess what your life was like, but there was always a part of you that I could never get close to".
"No matter how hard I tried I could never really know you" said Paige.
"Not until now".
