[ Normally he'd have blurted some comment out during a pause like this, but being asked outright to listen by his fiancée isn't exactly normal. Throwing himself into the novel situation he keeps his tongue down and his eyes carefully scanning hers (apart from the briefest unconscious flicker down to her lips) in case what she wants to say can be seen there instead of heard in his head. Claire makes a concentrated effort to hold that quiet focus even when she trails off to stare at his collar for a while, but is starting to falter by the time she looks back at him because of a still small voice is suggesting that he might be coming on too strong.

Before he can break the silence she looks back, eyes still inscrutable, which he takes it as an O-K to say something. After this much time she must not know how to word what she wants him to hear - or how to begin. He leans an elbow on his knee and props his chin on his hand, grin pushed up lopsidedly by his fingers.

With a head nod towards another crowd of block party-goers: ] This anything 'bout why you didn't feel like joining those guys?
