Who: Claire and the Spider Creep
What: So uh a thing happened
Where: Around town
When: After Vegas
Vegas had been.... something all right. Peter wasn't certain he'd ever be able to go back to the city after everything when he did finally make it back to town again. Between the alien attack and the massive hang over he'd had to fight through, to say nothing at all about the marriage that had apparently felt like a good idea when he'd been far too drunk to consent to such a thing. It turned out that the Elvis that had married them had written Sonny and Cher on the paperwork and so in the end the marriage hadn't actually been as binding as Peter worried it might have been. The last thing he wanted was to have a second divorce on his hands.
Though that didn't mean that everything was fine and good now of course. Peter knew that much and he still had the drunk messages he'd sent Claire on his phone to prove it. So there was some work to be done and as much as Peter would have loved to just pretend like none of it never happened - favoring the old adage that what happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas - he knew that sometimes things came back with you.
He'd been working on building them a couple of fans for the house, allowing Claire some space, and giving himself something to do that wasn't just sitting around internally screaming at what an idiot he'd been. He just finished up one, sitting on the porch of their little house, hoping for some breeze to help with the stifling heat, when he saw her.
"Hey," Smooth Parker, "I was kind of hoping we could talk." He told her, because they'd been headed toward something maybe, it had felt that way, just as much as it felt like he'd ruined it now, and Peter knew how important it could be to say things and not just expect someone to read your mind the way he had in the past. And Claire deserved at least a conversation, if she wanted to tell him that she wasn't interested now, well he wouldn't blame her or hold it against her, but he hoped they might still be able to talk.
