Why this must be read: I end this month with the way it probably will be. Another well written, stab you in the heart read from the queen of Chloe angst. Told from Chloe's point of view in minutes, hours and years as the outsider looking in on the two people she loves falling in love themselves.

Author's Synopsis - Chloe discovers she's not as out of love with Clark as she thought she was, and that maybe she shares those feelings with someone else.


Chloe smiled. Her focus returned to the duo still chatting in the living room. Their sparring had given way to quiet conversation. Lois had moved over to sit beside Clark on the couch where they now had their heads bowed together, nearly touching, over the deck of cards. He was showing her trick.

The card disappeared.
Lois narrowed her eyes, and began looking for the card, peeking up his sleeve, looking in his shirt pocket. Clark was laughing at her. She pried his hand open, her long fingers caressing his palm as he revealed it to be empty. Their eyes met. They both laughed.
And Chloe had a flash of insight so startling she nearly dropped her glass.
They look good together.
