she's become a social institution [claire]
When Elizabeth was much younger, she was a dancer.
She took ballet from a very young age; the precision of it appealed to her and the opportunity to lose herself in movement, the focus and calm that dancing gave her was more than she could pass up.
So when Elizabeth saw a sign in front of a small building that advertised a dance studio, she couldn't resist the opportunity to go and see it for herself.
The studio was above a three bedroom apartment, which had obviously belonged to the woman who once ran it. There were dance supplies and pictures of dancers and the odd award...Elizabeth felt fifteen again, poking around. There were no bodies, but the place needed to be aired a little.
Elizabeth has half loaded her car up with her belongings when she remembers Claire. Her brilliant idea falters for a moment and then--well, why shouldn't Claire come with her? She finishes packing herself up and goes to find the girl.
