Challenge: Tuesday being Canada Day and Friday being the Fourth of July, this week's drabble must contain a piece of both countries - something distinctly Canadian and something distinctly American.
Picnic
Clark showed up on his doorstep just after nine. He pointed to his truck in the driveway and the cooler in the back, and as soon as Lex could wrap up his conference call, they were off.
They parked, and Clark spread out a blanket for them to sit on the tailgate. Handing Lex a Coke, he set out the rest of their picnic. The radio was on, still tuned to a soft rock station that Mrs. Kent liked. Leonard Cohen was always a little bit sad, but so was being by the river with Clark. The Coke-sweet kisses helped.
