Claire smiled at him once again, still so surprised to see the usually level headed guy from work seeming so different when away from the office. Giving his hand another squeeze, she let go as they approached the building he stated was his, following him in with another smirk. She was trying to keep her own butterflies at bay. It had been a long time since she'd actually dated someone, and- well, did this really even count as a date? It certainly seemed to have all the factors of it, now. They'd gone out for breakfast together, gone dancing, wandered the park, and now she was going back to his place.
Going...back... to his place.
That was a giant part to it right there. What type of 'just friends' went back to someone else's place that quickly? Was she over analyzing? Oh, no- was HE?! She suddenly wondered if he had taken this all the wrong way. Hopefully he didn't think she was coming back here with other intentions...
"Um... John?"
That nervous smile of his as he opened the door, letting her in. It lessened her worries. He didn't seem ready for such a thing himself. Heck, he could barely get the door open the way he was going. Maybe she had been overthinking.
"...Nevermind." She nodded to him, stepping into the apartment and glancing at him as he came in as well. "Thanks, by the way."
His place really reminded her of her own, but a bit more of a bachelor's feel about it. She smiled at that thought, wondering if her own apartment made others immediately confirm she was single as well.
Yeah, probably her collection of empty wine bottles and the furrball that met them at the door. Typical single girl decor right there, right?
"A beer would be wonderful," She replied quickly, the thought of those wine bottles back home making her rethink any considerations of it yet again now. "It's been awhile since I had one."
"Sorry if I interrupted your afternoon." She glanced back at him, frowning slightly. "I'm usually a very spur-of-the-moment person, and sometimes forget that other people tend to plan things out. Maybe... Maybe we could, y'know, make plans to be spur-of-the-moment ourselves? Together?" She smirked with that. "Set aside some time to go do something. Planning to be unplanned."
