Chloe laughed. She lifted the glass to her lips, her hand shaking slightly.

Noticing her hand, Clark came over to her and sat down beside her on the couch. "Are you okay?"

"I'll be alright." She whispered, looking down at the glass of water.

Clark took his hand and lifted her chin. "If there's anything you want to talk about, I'm here."

Chloe fought back her tears. "It had me, Clark." She whispered, trying not to cry. "I felt the strangest feeling inside of me when it came closer. And the words it whispered were so beautiful. It was intoxicating and terrifying at the same time."

Clark nodded. "Dean said it could do that. That it would turn in to what you most wanted it to be." Clark looked at her for a moment and realization dawned in his eyes. "Why did the creature look like me, Chloe?"

Chloe took her hand from his and stood up. "It must have picked up on how I used to feel about you." She whispered, placing the glass on the table.

Clark stood up and walked over to her. "I don't think so." He lifted Chloe's face again to see that she was crying. "What is it?"

Not like Dean, but like him. He looked down at the floor then back up at the crying girl that stood by the window. He walked over to her and turned her around to face him. She looked up at him, tears streaming down her face. Placing a hand on her face, he nodded and smiled. “I love you too.” He whispered, as their lips met.

Chloe wrapped her arms around his neck and returned his kiss eagerly. When their lips parted, she looked up at him. "I don't understand. She whispered.
