"Hi. I'm Jack." The Irish man greeted, holding out his hand to shake.
Claire bit her bottom lip and looked up at Mark with questioning, doubting eyes. He smiled and nodded. Claire shook his hand, hoping that her palms weren't sweating to badly.
"Claire." She answered back, her voice sounding scratchy in her own ears.
Claire could see Mark's grin from the corner of her eye, boosting her confidence slightly. She brushed her hair back nervously and fidgeted while Mark and Jack began speaking to each other. She forced herself to breath. Out of old habit something caught her eye. Jack's wallet was clearly sticking from his back pocket. It would be so easy to just- no. She mentally slapped herself. She no longer needed to scrach off of other people to survive... but old habits die hard.
"Claire?" Mark's voice sounded concerned as he broke her from her trance.
"Hmm? What? Sorry. I blanked out." She said shyly.
Mark smirked and rolled his eyes.
"We were just saying it would be fun to go out and get some ice cream. Wanna come?"
Claire's taste buds began to sweat at the sound of that and she nodded vigorously, making the two men laugh.
