Peter B | Claire
Claire hadn't thought that there was anyone special in Peter's life because when he'd been unwell no one had come knocking the door down. So she'd been surprised when Miles mentioned it, only now was she fishing for a little extra information. Because she wanted to know about her roommate, okay?
"No, but I'm still sorry it happened," Claire said. Peter's attitude about it was reasonable, but it was about survival. "You should write a self help book, it's sure to be a best seller here," she said with a playful roll of his eyes. "Can I get that tattooed on my lower back?"
He had her and Claire let him hold her weight and send her off balance, totally trusting him to keep her up. Peter pulled her upright again and Claire trailed her foot back down his calf before she put it on the ground again. "You're only as good as your partner," Claire told him and while it wasn't necessarily true, it helped.
