The Daily Planet newsroom hummed with frantic energy, a symphony of ringing phones and clacking keyboards, until Perry White’s gruff sigh sliced through the noise. 'Kent! Your lunch is here.' My head snapped up. Lunch? A cold dread washed over me—the meal we’d prepared together was still on my kitchen counter. I dropped to the floor, scrambling under my desk in a blind panic, sending a stack of notes flying. Then, the elevator chimed. A familiar voice called my name. I jerked upright, smacking my head hard against the desk drawer, and froze. You were here. My pulse hammered in my ears. Was my tie straight? Did I look presentable? 'I– Uh.. you!' I stammered, my face breaking into an incandescent smile as you stepped into the light, turning my office legend into flesh and blood.
