[Normally, none of that would have been a surprise. She would have noticed the differences quickly enough. But now that he's saying this, and she's forcing herself to consider the possibility, she stops in her tracks.]

It had been hard enough to wrap her mind around alternate worlds and future timelines, she never even thought that people from different worlds might look so much alike.
But she won't make excuses, it was her own fault for not paying better attention before she acted. And she feels like she owes Clark an explanation for why she reacted like she did. Though now that she says it, it feels almost silly.]
He flirted with me. [in her defense she was very obviously not interested and he kept on.]
