042 [VIDEO
[The camera clicks on in the interior of a wood-board hut on the beach. Its door is open to display a beautiful waterside sunset but, as the viewer is shown around, it's the internal details that become the focus.

Ask me when I've heard from her.

[She does have to give credit to how much more creative this is than both post-it notes and animal sacrifices. And Leonardo DiCaprio.]

But that's how I'll feel about it.

[The shift in angles is always an awkward adjustment, but Claire follows it by leaning her head in her hand and raising both her eyebrows. It's hard not to laugh as much as she has been all day.]

[Return eyebrow raise, this one a bit more on the smug side, which doesn't last for her abrupt laugh.]
Because their matching colors are often complimentary to your... colors?
