The concern was written all over Claire's face and he took her hand, squeezing gently.
"I'm okay. Just....wasn't ever able to tune in before. First time is a bit overwhelming." He smiled and hoped she would understand what he meant. He did wonder at why he could suddenly hear Heaven, but it wasn't something to worry about just then.
