Gavin glanced up as Claire made her way into the kitchen.  He gave her a smile and glanced past her, toward the room where Landon would be staying.  "He settling in okay?"<br/><br/>He moved over to Claire and paused next to her, then reached for her hand.  He tilted her face up to him and bent to her and kissed her.  When they parted, he gave her a slight smile.  "I'm glad he's here, and I'm glad you are too.  I love you, Claire."<br/><br/>He pulled her into an embrace and wrapped his arms around her.  His hands rested on the waistband of her capris, holding her close to him.  He kissed her again, deepening the kiss if she would let him.  But that was part of the problem, in his opinion.  He didn't know now how she would react to his attentions.<br/><br/>He let her go when he heard the familiar creaking of the wooden floor in the hallway when Landon neared the kitchen.  He stepped away from Claire and moved to the cabinets.  He looked over his shoulder at Landon as the other man entered the kitchen.  "Didn't get lost, then.  That's good."  He smiled at Landon, then opened the fridge.  "So, what do you want to drink?  Water, soda, juice, wine?"<br/><br/>He had already pulled out a soda earlier.  He had almost pulled out a beer for himself, when he suddenly remembered another of the changes due to what had happened.  The first sip of any alcohol meant Claire wouldn't let him drive.  Nothing was allowed, no amount was too small.  Which meant that he had to be careful.<br/><br/>He glanced back at Landon as he waited for the answer.
