Chloe sat up so that Sam could slide in behind her and then sat back in her seat. "So, do you want a full tour or just the creepy places?"

Clark threw the ball up against the wall. Entranced in what he was doing, he didn't hear his mother come up the stairs.
"Are you okay?" She asked, sitting down in a chair by the railing.
"Not really." Clark caught the ball and threw it to the side. Sitting down himself, he turned to his mom. "I'm worried about Chloe."
His mother smiled at him. "Clark, are you sure you're worried?" She cleared her throat. "Or are you jealous?"
"Mom, Chloe and I are just friends." Clark shook his head.
"Clark, you might be able to fool other people, but I'm your mother." She placed a hand on his arm. "You like Chloe more than a friend, don't you?"
Clark bowed his head for a moment and then looked back at his mother. "I think I love her."
"So what are you so afraid of?" His mother placed her hands on his face. "If you love her, tell her."
Clark stood up and walked to the barn window. "It's not that easy, mom." He turned back to her. "She seems to really like this guy."
His mother stood up and walked to his side. "Clark, being in love means taking risks. I remember a time when you told me that Chloe had feelings for you."
