Even after his conversation with Luke, it took Steve a day or two to finally work up the courage to seek out Claire. He got close on the second day and then chickened out, then retreated to his room to try and figure out exactly how he was going to phrase this. It was all in the approach, after all.
So he decided today he'd stop by the precinct for... something, he'd probably find something he could do around there-- and if he ran into Claire, then he'd talk to her.
And he ran into her in one of the conference rooms. Shit. Why was it always a conference room?
"Hey- uh... Claire?" he said, clearing his throat. "Are you busy?"
Oh god. What was he doing? This was the worst idea ever.

As soon as he was out of the room he let out a breath it felt like he'd been holding for ages, and reached up to wipe away tears it felt like he'd been holding for even longer than that. He lowered his head and headed back to his room as quickly as humanly possible.
