"The back door was unlocked, as Matches had promised it would be. Clark slipped inside. There was a heartbeat on the third floor, Bruce's bedroom. It skipped, stuttered at the sound of the door opening two floors below, then evened out into a slightly-faster-than-normal pace." - I love the way that Clark's listening to Bruce's heartbeat, Bruce knows Clark's there, and this is foreplay for both of them. Such perfect characterisation. Also, Clark doesn't break in, Bruce leaves the door open for him; there's just something about that, about how well Bruce knows Clark and how much he trusts him, that he leaves the door open for him.
