things that Chloe does: shallowness

---

Chloe Sullivan makes him think of old beds –

creaking and moaning.

His ego tells his eardrums to take it,

because this is better than the

uncertain quiet whispers

he used to hear.

---

Chloe Sullivan makes him think of old beds,

of her desk at the Torch,

of that time in his truck

before they got to his house.

---

Chloe Sullivan makes him think

about his future

and options that weren't his father's idea first.

He's getting used to her leaps,

discussing what he does

not because he does it…

just because.

---

Chloe Sullivan makes Whitney Fordman think…

about Chloe Fordman.
