We all have choices to make...

Now that Leon knew he'd have a place with the STARS team, as a liaison for STRATCOM, he wasn't sure if that would make talking to Claire about her joining STARS easier, or more difficult. This is the first time that work has been an issue, or at least a major factor, for them. Not that he would be her boss, but he didn't want her to think that this was some kind of recruiting drive on his part.

He figured he was being silly, though. He knew Claire, but more importantly, Claire knew him. She would know he wouldn't push her into something like this.

He also knew why she was hesitating. She had her reasons, all of which were very good reasons not to join. He truthfully didn't know what to tell her, but he didn't need to know. He wasn't there to talk so much as to listen.

Of course, to talk or listen, he'd actually have to find Claire, so he set out to look for her.

Claire was out at the end of the dock. She had a beach umbrella, a book, and a pitcher of iced tea with her. The book was lying open on the dock next to her ignored, as she looked out across the water.

It helped her think.
