seeking Elaine (also open)
Clara finished reading that darn book what feels like ages ago, but she has avoided seeking out Elaine to talk about it because she hasn't been able to think of what on earth she wants to say. But she knows she can't avoid the subject forever-- or at least, she feels fairly certain if she doesn't talk about it with somebody, she'll go crazy-- so she's headed over to Elaine's house at last (though she didn't call ahead, in a last-ditch hope that she wouldn't be home and she could continue to put it off), looking far more unhappy than such a beautiful summer day merits.
