I was going to point to this. Although there's a chance she was just trying to make up for getting in Marten's face. Or just actually kissing ass.

I think she realizes she might've been a bit overbearing the day before, and is trying to walk it back the next day. We've seen this from her on a number of occasions; aside from her anxiety, it's one of the most consistently-shown parts of her personality. Overreact, process, revisit, repeat.

I also think Claire was in a state of flux as a character.
I mentioned that Claire changed her hair just after the Lake house, but I don't really think that's evidence of anything other than Jeph deciding her wanted to change the way she presented. Up to that point, she had all of her hair pulled back in a pony tail, except one lock hanging to the right. Right after the party, she's actually shown restyling her hair, and Jeph makes a joke out of it From then on, she always keeps a forelock free om both side, with left, or both, tucked behind her ears.
From this point, two weeks pass and Claire volunteers to drive Marten to the wedding. It seems like a friendly gesture to anyone not from New England, but this is the same universe where everyone accepted that Dora was moving really far away until it was pointed out that a 20 minute drive is only a long way in small state logic. The 90 minute drive to Vermont would be out of the way to a small state native, and Claire volunteered just to drive him there. Marten invited her to wedding after. That's definitely a "I want to spend time with you" moment. I'm just adding an in universe reason for the hair thing, and using that to justify placing the beginning of the crush between the wedding and the lake house.
It's my headcanon, and you should respect that.

I respect your headcannon as if it were your religion. 8-)

Well, since that's supposed to be St. Paul's head on that cannon, it's appropriate.
Except I have no religion. It was shot off in the war.
BenRG:
The problem is that Marten is so continually polite and gentlemanly towards all the ladies that it is sometimes plausible that they have misconstrued brotherly or friendly politeness as a romantic gesture. I suspect that Martin was unaware that he could be romantically interested in Claire until he reviewed his thoughts and feelings during The Night of the Skritch the morning afterwards.
