Sandra was thrilled to see her daughter so happy about seeing her, and she was about to cry herself when she realized that Claire had already started crying. Afraid she was thinking about the possibility of a divorce for her parents, Sandra moved back a little and placed her hands on either side of Claire's face.
"Oh honey don't cry, everything has a way of working itself out in the end. Everything is going to be alright." She assured her though she looked like she was going to cry herself. Trying to lighten the mood she placed one of her hands on Claire's hair. "When did you do this?" She asked trying not to say that she liked Claire better as a blonde, mostly because it made them look more like they really were a family.
