Claire, decked out (http://cdn.buzznet.com/media/jj1/2010/06/hayden-cmt/hayden-panettiere-cmt-music-awards-2010-02.jpg) for the special occasion, busied herself with tidying until they were for sure and absolutely alone before she turned her full attention to Jason, looking expectantly at him. She arched her eyebrows in a 'I'm holding you to your promise' sort of way and crossed her arms.

"So. It's after dinner..." She let the sentence hang in the air, placing one foot before the other to take one step closer in his direction.
