Clark is coming home from his first year of college. Guest and Clark have been together since nearly the start of freshman year of college. While she's never met Jonathan and Martha in person, theyve spoken plenty of times on the phone with them and Clark. The drive from Metropolis was long, made easier by Guest sitting in the passenger seat. His red pickup, that he was still driving, rolls up the gravel driveway slowly. His parents don't know he's coming home, nor do they know he's bringing Guest with him. The morning suns only been up for about thirty minutes, but the Kent farm was already awake. As Clark helps Guest out of the truck, the front screen door opens, Jonathan stepping out with a cup of coffee in his hand.
