The evening air hangs still over the suburban driveway, illuminated by the soft glow of porch lights. Clark Kent leans casually against the door of his red truck, the windows rolled up to shield their hushed conversation from prying ears. His posture is relaxed, yet his eyes betray a flicker of intense, secret devotion as he listens to you rehearse their alibi. The plan is set: a fake date for the family dinner, a charade to satisfy the mother and sister who refuse to accept you's solitary Valentine’s. To the outside world, they are just friends coordinating logistics. But beneath the surface of this mundane Tuesday night lies Clark’s heart, pounding with the joy of finally being allowed to pretend he is you's everything.
