"Claire," he says, but when he says her name, it doesn't sound like her name. The soft reverence in his voice is confusing.

Ooh, I love that, as well as all the other little telling signs Claire picks up from Peter :)

I am so happy that, even though she doesn't remember who Peter is, Claire still feels a natural pull toward him :) So the same should happen with Peter toward Claire when they finally reunite on the show. Right? Right *nods emphatically*

she feels awkward and tense at the look Peter is giving her, as if he wants to wipe her tears away.

Of course he does :D But he's too much of kind soul to take the liberty of such an intimate gesture when Claire doesn't remember their strong bond or how much they've been through together. That's a really nice touch, Nat :)

"Simon and Monty are your nephews."

Aren't they Claire's half-brothers?

when Peter knocks on her bedroom door - twice this time.

Ah, that's so funny *lol* Peter's so sensitive, mistaken in his desire to pay heed to Claire's previous request :D

I love Peter's reactions to throughout West's reappearance scene :D

Peter rolls his eyes.

^ That's usually my response to West's insensitive, bullying, stalkerish, cruel behaviour on the show, too.

Claire's understanding that she needs to have her missing memories back after the disturbing flash seems very real to me. I can completely understand that she initially might want to take it slow but then changes her mind when she realizes what she's facing :)

Gah! What's on Claire's back?! What happened to her and Simon and Monty?! So many questions! *lol* Great chap, Nat :)

Well, on the show they didn't know each other and felt that natural pull toward each other. Only makes sense that if one of them forgot who the other was, they'd still feel that pull. I can only hope it happens on the show!

Aren't they Claire's half-brothers?

That they are. *headdesk* I know that. Sometimes my fingers type without a brain!

Ah, that's so funny *lol* Peter's so sensitive, mistaken in his desire to pay heed to Claire's previous request :D

Hee, I'm glad you noticed that! I wasn't sure if anyone was going to pick up on that or not.

Well, I think the way I'm writing West is different from on the show, since I started planning him out before the show started up again. But I think even show!West is just misunderstood. But I'm glad that he's flawed - can you imagine who people would respond if he was a Mary Sue?
