“Lana?”

“Jesus Christ.” She nearly jumped out of her skin.

Clark stood a few feet away.

He was wearing sweatpants and a dark T-shirt, his hair messy like he'd been lounging around before she appeared.

“What are you doing here?”

His expression changed the second he realized which door she'd just come out of.

“Now isn't a good time.” Lana started toward the front door.

“You were with Jason?”

“Clark.” She wasn't in the mood.

Not after everything that had happened tonight.

“What were you

    Lana was in the woods again.Wind rushed through her fur as she ran through the trees, enjoying the feeling of her muscles stretching and straining. Going faster and faster as she zigzagged.Before long, she found herself in the clearing by the lake.She looked around but couldn't find him.She decided to rest near the water and wait for him.This was their place, after all.Lana lowered herself onto the soft grass, resting her head against her front paws.The lake was beautiful tonight.Moonlight stretched across the still water, illuminating the trees along the opposite shore. Every so often, a gentle breeze disturbed the surface, sending little ripples across her reflection.She lifted her head and watched the silver-white wolf mirror her movements.Lana studied her reflection curiously.It was strange how natural this felt. How comfortable she was in a body that shouldn't belong to her.She stretched her front legs and yawned.Where was Clark?Last time she had heard him running t

    “Lana?” “Jesus Christ.” She nearly jumped out of her skin. Clark stood a few feet away. He was wearing sweatpants and a dark T-shirt, his hair messy like he'd been lounging around before she appeared. “What are you doing here?” His expression changed the second he realized which door she'd just come out of. “Now isn't a good time.” Lana started toward the front door. “You were with Jason?” “Clark.” She wasn't in the mood. Not after everything that had happened tonight. “What were you doing in his room?” Clark followed her anyway. “Making sure he was okay.” she answered. “Why wouldn't he be okay?” Clark asked, sounding a little too hopeful. Lana reached for the door. Her sleeve slipped back. Clark stiffened. The change in him was immediate. “Lana.” His voice was strange. She followed his gaze. Shit. The marks around her wrist were impossible to miss. She quickly pulled her sleeve down. “Did he do that?” His voice had gone frighteningly calm. “Clark—” she started.

    “Lana, please. You have to forgive me.” Jason begged as soon as the door opened. Lana immediately tried to shut the door. He stuck his hand out to keep it from closing, but instead of pushing his way in, he dropped to his knees. “Go away.” She groaned, annoyed. “Something is wrong with me.” He managed to gasp out as he started to sob into his hands. “The last thing I remember was seeing you on the floor.. In the middle of all that...”“Jason...” Lana let her door open further. Slightly stepping towards him, concern having won over the fear that had taken over her. She frowned as she watched him mumble into his hands. “I don’t remember everything; it's like a fever dream. One minute we were hugging, and the next you were on the floor and my hand was raised...” his breathing was erratic as he tried to explain. “Lana, after I saw you on the floor, my memory blocked out again; all I remember after that is Danny shoving me out the door and everything was...” “Are you saying you don’t

    Lana felt numb.She moved around the studio mindlessly, cleaning up shattered glass and picking up what was salvageable.Focusing on the damage was easier than thinking about Jason.Broken furniture could be replaced. Frames could be bought again. Photographs could be reprinted.Whatever had happened between her and Jason wasn't nearly as simple.Lana crouched beside one of the overturned tables and picked up another photograph. The frame was destroyed, but somehow the picture inside had survived without so much as a scratch.“Would you stop?”Lana looked over her shoulder.Danny stood a few feet away, holding the chair Jason had thrown earlier.“What?” she asked him, confused.“Cleaning.”“Why?” she frowned.“Because I'm perfectly capable of doing this myself.” Danny pointed around.“So am I.”“I didn't say you weren't.”Danny stared at her.“Then what's the problem?” Lana sighed tiredly.“The problem is you've been staring at that broken frame for the past five minutes.”Lana looked

    “You want to tell me what’s going on with you and Clark?” Lana’s stomach dropped. “Jason—” “Were you with him last night?” There was something about the way he asked the question that made her hesitate. “Yes, after you bailed on me again.” His expression changed so quickly it made her pause. A second ago, he had been hugging her affectionately Now his entire body had gone rigid. “You were supposed to be with me.” “You left.” Lana stared at him. “I had to work.” “And I was supposed to do what? Stand there until you come back?” “You could’ve gone home.” Something about his tone immediately irritated her. “Excuse me?” “Instead, you went running around the city holding his hand?” Jason accused her angrily. “We were running away from photographers.” Lana defended herself and Clark, despite the fact she knew she did more than just run. “Oh, that’s convenient.” he sneered. “Don’t talk to me like that.” Lana’s eyes narrowed. She turned away from him, and reac

    After Clark left, Lana couldn’t bear to sit around. All thoughts of enjoying alone time went out the window the minute she saw the article. She couldn’t stop thinking about what she'd do. It was only a matter of time before she would have to come face to face with Jason.Nope. Work. Normal life.Work was something she could handle.Lana grabbed her bag and camera before she could change her mind. If she stayed in the apartment any longer, she was either going to stare at the article until she drove herself insane or start thinking about Clark again.Neither seemed particularly productive.By the time she reached the studio, she had almost convinced herself she could pretend everything was normal for a few hours.She pushed open the door and was immediately greeted by the familiar sight of photographs covering the white walls. Morning light poured through the front windows, reflecting off the polished concrete floors.Danny was sitting at his desk in the back, staring at his laptop.“
