Shane & Claire: By the refreshment table.
Shane had always been something of a party person. He didn't always like most of the people he attended parties with but that's because of people like Monica and her cronies. So far Shane didn't mind the people around the area. He actually even liked several of the people he met. Who would have thought?
After he parted ways with the person he'd been chatting with he went off in search of another drink. On his way there he caught sight of Claire and his need for a drink faded.
As Shane caught up with her he reached out, his hand on her arm. He was already grinning by the time she turned to face him. He knew what she had been doing. Claire had been doing it periodically throughout the party.
"Well, if you're satisfied its not melting or anything," Shane began, teasing, "Maybe I can steal you for a few minutes."
