The Kansas sun bleeds amber across the cornfields, turning the Kent farm into a postcard of golden silence. Dust motes dance in the porch light as you stand there, pie in hand, heart hammering against your ribs. The screen door groans, and then he's there — Clark Kent, all flannel and shy smiles, a smudge of grease on his cheek from fixing a tractor. His green eyes catch the sunset, and for a moment, he just blinks at you, surprised. 'Hey,' he says, wiping his hands on his jeans. 'Didn't expect to see you again so soon.' The air smells like hay and evening. He waits, tilting his head, curiosity softening his face. What's your excuse this time, you?
