She's okay for the most part. Not too hot... not looking like crap like before. If Sam hadn't of been there. But he was. Going over to the bar counter she orders a cup of hot chocolate then goes over to a chair and curls up in it. She figures drinking hot chocolate and curling up with a good book will keep her mind off her nightmares. Off the way she feels when she has them. So far it seems to be working.

Whether it stays that way or not... is a whole other story.

"Exactly," he agrees, smile widening some. "And, well, now you've got one more person to talk to."

"Are you as hard to find as everyone else?" She asks giving him a smile. "Or will it be easy as pie." She may or may not be teasing.

"I'm around often enough," he replies. "I'd say easy as pie but honestly, pie's not that easy. Believe me, I've tried."

"Chocolate chip cookies are easier. I used to make them a lot." And she'd normally have a plate of them out for Sam for when he got home.

"My mom tried to get me to help with those when I was younger, but I ended up eating most of the chocolate chips and I think she figured it wasn't worth the trouble anymore," he grins. "Pie, though, I almost got the hang of. Nowhere near as good as my mom's, of course,"

"I used to eat the chocolate chips all the time when I was little." She shakes her head a bit. "I even ate some of them when I was making the cookies for Sam. How can someone resist chocolate chips? As far as pie is concerned, I've never tried making a pie before."

"It's trickier than it looks, especially when you get into all those fancy cream pies. I stick to apple if I have to make one at all for myself."

Then a thought strikes him. "Are you from Kansas, too?"

"I'll have to try it some time." Maybe. "No. I'm from California."

That appears to throw Clark a little, but it's just a brief reaction.

"I see. I thought since he was, you might be, too," he shrugs. "I am; it's kind of nice to meet other people from the same place."

"No. When I met Sam it was at Stanford University. Definitely a guy any girl would want to run into. And considering what he was majoring in, that probably helped too."

"Ah, yeah, university can be good for that. Meeting people." Not that Clark would really know. "What was he studying?"

"Mmhmm. It can be." She went... up till the day she died. "Pre-law. He would've made an excellent lawyer."

"That's pretty ambitious, but I think I could see it." He tilts his head. "What about you? What were you taking?"

"Journalism." Not that mun knows since the silly creators never gave what she was majoring in.

"Really?" Clark brightens at that. "You should talk to my friend Chloe. She's taking journalism at Met U and she works at the Daily Planet. I bet she'd love to have someone else to talk stories with, since I think she's about given up on trying to get me back into it."

"So you were into the whole journalism thing at one point?"

He half shrugs, with a smile. "If you can call writing stories about new gym mats in high school being into journalism. Our school paper was Chloe's pet project, so hanging out with her ended up turning into working on it with her."

"I don't know if I'd call that an actual story but hey... you were with your friend and it gave you something to do."

"Hey, that was a front page story," he chuckles. "But yeah, she ropes our other friend Pete into it too for a while. I think she was half hoping we'd be taking classes together in college, but it didn't work out that way."

"Does she enjoy what she does now?"

Clark grins. "Chloe lives and breathes journalism. And coffee, but mostly journalism."

"I think I could do without the coffee. For me its hot chocolate." She tells him with a grin of her own. "She sounds like a neat person."

"She is. Seriously, if you see her around, you should say hi. She's small, blond and usually attached to a cup of coffee and a laptop."

He hesitates before adding, "Just maybe make mention you're not Lindsey right off, if you do."

"Take it something bad happened to this girl?"

"That's kind of complicated," he says slowly. "But basically, yeah. It did."
