Peter B | Claire
Things were good now, well maybe good was being generous considering they were all trapped in this place. But considering that they were stuck and they were all having to deal with this place and rebuilding something of a life here, well he thought he could call it good. Especially since they weren't sick any more, since Claire wasn't hurting the way she had been since she arrived, since they all came here.
And like this - well Peter wasn't thinking about what there wasn't here, just what was right here before him. Claire pressed against him, the music all around him, so many friends, more than he'd had - in well.... maybe ever now that he thought about it. Things were good here. Regardless of what had brought him here, things were good.
And Peter was only too happy to lean into Claire when she moved her hair to one side for him, "Lucky I've got that going for me, I might not stand a chance otherwise." And that would be a real tragedy, she'd been a surprise, but a wonderful sort of one. One that Peter was only too happy to keep her close and move with her as they danced.
