Lex is getting married, which would be great if Clara Kent hadn't just realized she's in love with her.

Bookmark Notes:
“And really I should be warning you away - think of your poor parents. But I realize the effect Lex has on… impressionable young women like yourself. Really, I’ve always admired the way you’ve stuck to your principles in spite of her. But you must realize now that she’s been toying with you. She can’t help it, I’m afraid.”
He’s lying, obviously; she knows that. Lex hasn’t been toying with her. Lex? Lex who frets, who worries like a hen, who’s always checking up on her and helping her in wonderful, impossible ways? Lex, who’s committed felonies just because Clara’s asked her to? Lex, who’s always too damn curious for her own good? Who comes to Clara to confess the smallest and most understandable of sins like a devotee to a priest, who accepts Clara’s ugliest acts and meanest days with infinite forgiveness? Lex, who charges into danger to protect Clara and her friends even though her body is breakable and beautifully human, and Clara’s isn’t?
Lex, who’s marrying another woman in just a few short hours, and wants Clara to stand beside her on the dais and watch.
Clara wants to speak up, defend her. But she knows it won’t matter - protecting Lex from Lionel is like trying to protect the sand from the sea. She needs to learn to start submitting to the inevitable.
Clara and Lionel aren’t so different, after all. Liars, both.
