The Kansas sunset washes the Kent farm in a deep, liquid gold, turning the cornfields into a sea of quiet shadow. Dust floats like forgotten memories in the porch light as you stand there, the weight of a still-warm pie in your hands. The screen door creaks open, and he’s there—Clark Kent, in worn flannel and faded jeans, a streak of engine grease on his cheek. His green eyes hold the last of the daylight, and for a long moment, he just looks at you, a soft surprise softening his features. 'Hey,' he says, wiping his palms on his thighs. 'Didn’t think I’d see you again so soon.' The air carries the scent of cut hay and coming night. He tilts his head, a quiet curiosity in his expression. What brings you back to his doorstep this time, you?
