Confrontation [Facebook verse]

Tess has barely been back in Kansas when her attention gets pulled in a hundred directions at once. It isn't a while until she realizes she's forgotten one very important thing: Lena's lost barette, probably somewhere at the Kent Farm.

After a call to Clark to make certain the coast is clear, she drives over intent on making a quick search of the property and then heading back to the mansion. Naturally, it would be rude not to say hello so her first stop on arrival is the farmhouse itself, letting herself in the kitchen door.

"I always do," she tells him and then heads for the door. Once outside, however, she sits on the porch steps, hard.

Clark stays in the kitchen, but he can see and hear that Tess hasn't left yet. He's not going to push her, so he just watches her from afar.

It's all hit her at once - the fight, the anger, the lack of sleep and not eating as well as she should have been. Tess sags against the handrail and just sits, resting her head on her knees.
