She had built a fire and set up a small picnic on the beach of Hydra island, facing toward the larger island. She had also left Charlie a note back where they were staying to come and meet her on the beach. With her new wedding ring on her finger, she got in her best dress and tied her hair up. They had to have some kind of honeymoon, right?

They had arrived and got everything settled in before treating it like a real vacation. Claire found herself on the beach of the tiny island, in nothing but a bikini as she lay there. Charlie was either somewhere close by or back at the bases where they were planning on sleeping. Either way, if it was a vacation, she would definitely tan.

It was nice to finally find herself relaxing a bit and with the keys that Juliet had given her for everything they'd need at Hydra, she went to find Charlie.

She gave him a smile as she found him before dangling the keys a bit.

They're for Hydra. Juliet gave them to us so we can go on a.. vacation, I guess.

Claire was sitting on the bed in her house. She had tried not to sob too much and too loudly but she couldn't help herself. It was something she had expected but only hoped that Samuel would have actually been nice enough to spare the day. Of course, she felt like a fool for thinking it ( Read more... )

Claire walks into the house and leaves the door open for Charlie to follow before heading straight to the bathroom to check her nose. She didn't think it was still bleeding, but better safe than sorry.

Once she had cleaned her face and changed her clothes, she came out to meet him and smiled.

So, uh.. hungry?

She may have been getting ahead of herself. A date wasn't set but since Eko said he would marry her and Charlie, Claire hadn't been able to contain herself. She had already started planning some stuff. Kate would be her Maid of Honor, she would actually try and make a dress, and she was trying to figure things out for a ceremony and reception.

There wasn't much that she could do when the lights went out but use them to her advantage. As they were gone, she pulled out as many candles as she could find before lighting them, placing them around the house.

It would be enough for them to see, and it also created a romantic feel, which was never bad.

It felt like forever ago until she had seen Kate, and after having finding her with Juliet in the jungle, she had been more than excited. By now, she should have been settled in, and Claire had wanted to go see her ( Read more... )
