Chloe hadn't made the drive to Smallville in a very long time, she had no reason to, not when everyone was usually in Metropolis anyway and her cousin worked less than two blocks away from where she lived, but today, she was driving down the familiar road south of the city once more.

She had asked Lois if she could come over so they could talk, sure, they could have just talked at the Watchtower but Chloe didn't want to chance being overheard by anyone, especially Ollie.

It was a little after ten when she got to the Talon and after getting coffee for her cousin, juice for herself and a couple of muffins, she made her way up the stairs, not bothering with knocking since she had texted her cousin a little while earlier letting her know she was close, mostly to make sure Lois was actually awake.

"Lo?" Chloe called as she pushed the door open while balancing the tray with their beverages on one hand and the bag with the muffins clutched in the other.

"I thought of a necklace, but he doesn't wear those, he doesn't really wear any kind of jewelry, and I thought of cufflinks, but he can only wear those to work." She told Lois quietly, finally reaching for her muffin and taking a bite of it.

Lois took a bite of her muffing, as well, chewing thoughtfully. "What about a watch?" she asked, a couple crumbs falling out of her mouth as she spoke around the food.

She cocked her head at the suggestion and stared at Lois for a moment, "huh," she said, thinking about it, "I guess that would work, I can get it engraved with our initials and the date like you would a ring."

Lois nodded and took a drink of coffee. "Exactly! And he can wear it at either of his jobs, so..."

"You're right," she agreed, smiling softly, "I think a watch will be perfect."

She beamed. "Glad I can help."

"You always do," Chloe assured her, feeling a little more confident about the whole thing, "I'm thinking of giving it to him Christmas morning, before seeing anyone else."

Lois nodded at that. "Yeah, that's a good idea. Then he can show the watch off to everyone."

Chloe grinned at that and nodded then shrugged, "I'm okay if he doesn't want to tell anyone I asked him, I don't want him to feel... emasculated or something, assuming Ollie can actually feel that way." She smirked and picked up her drink again.

"Yeah, with his ego, probably not." She paused, smirking. "It'll probably inflate it more, actually."

"I don't know, Lo," Chloe said, shaking her head, "I think after the whole kid thing, nothing else will be big enough to inflate it."
