no matter what they say [rp for themaniwanttobe]
Nearly a week had passed since Claire's arrival in Storybrooke and the subsequent disappearance of her car. She still had no idea where her car had gone or who was behind it and it was even more confusing to her that someone wanted to strand her there in the town considering everyone still seemed spooked by her presence. The only bright spot in the whole mess was Archie Hopper.
Claire didn't know what it was about him that drew her in but she found herself spending time with him almost every day whether it was breakfast and a morning walk or some time after his last appointment of the day. Either way, she always enjoyed herself around him and it had gotten to the point that she found herself waiting till she could see him again. Even now she kept glancing at the clock waiting for the time she could stop by his office to say hi. So when the knock came on her door, she was surprised but not as surprised as she was to find Mr. Gold standing on the other side.
"Hi, Miss Butler." He smiled at her, taking a step into her room. "I'm here because I think we can come to an arrangement about your car."
A short while later, Claire didn't know if she felt better or not to have a plan but she felt the need to tell Archie almost as soon as it was done. There was no doubt in her mind that he was going to worry about the deal she had made but it seemed simple enough. Harmless, even. Of course she knew that meant it probably wasn't and that there was some sort of consequence that she couldn't see at the moment but she was willing to deal with that once they came.
Entering Archie's office, she paused in the little waiting room, glancing around as she listened to see if she could hear him talking to someone in his office.
