Claire's barely got her door locked before it unlocks itself – opens itself – shuts again, and Peter fades into view. He's breathing hard. For a wild, stupid moment Claire thinks he's here for something else, and her heart goes crazy.

But then she realizes he's angry, and she knows something must have happened. The insanity turns into icy, rational terror.

"What – "

He raises a hand. They wait. She holds her breath.

Someone knocks on the door.

Peter answers it. It's Robert, the guy Claire danced with, and he looks totally nonplussed to see Peter.

"Can I help you?" Peter challenges.
