It was one of the first times I’d ever seen – or rather felt – Charlie’s hands stay still. His fingers were usually strumming, tapping, fiddling with his ring, his watch, his hair.
Perfect. What a great characterization of Charlie. Also of Claire. I got the sense in the beginning that she was still a little uncomfortable with Charlie touching her, and it wasn't just because of the hair. Almost like she still hasn't fallen for him totally (maybe 90%)and she's forcing the other 10. I'm always slightly suspicious with Claire, like she could turn on a dime and Charlie won't even know what he's doing to annoy her. I'm sorry if I read too much angst into your fluff, but I think you captured them perfectly and it's why I've always been slightly wary of them as a couple as cute as they are together. Nice scene.
