Poor Bruce! I'm glad Clark's willing to make it up to him, but it'll take some time before Bruce can let him back in. *shakes fist at Clark threateningly* No one plays around with Bruce's heart!

Oh, it will. *huggles Bruce* But don't worry - the entire BatClan threatened Clark with dire consequences if he did anything stupid again! Not to mention what Alfred will do... ;)

I love the little details in all of this--the copper-topped tables, Alan warming Bruce's feet, observations like the one above. They keep everything grounded within all the sadness.

Yay! I really enjoyed including those little touches, so I'm tickled that you like them! :D

He was fairly sure she was named after a city - Madrid? - no, that wasn't it. He almost felt sorry for her, named after a city like that. Couldn't her parents at least have given her a proper name?

*can't help giggling*

*giggles with you* *pets Bruce* ;)

I'm glad Bruce could forgive him, but no one could ever be asked to forget being dumped...*hugs Bruce*

Clark's going to be regretting it for the rest of his life. *pets him gently* *goes back to hugging Bruce*

I'm really glad you liked this, Jen! *glomps* I owe you mail, I know, but I've been very distracted by fic. :( Bad Star! Bad! I promise I will at the very least get started on a reply on the weekend! *glomps again*
