Claire knew he was going to react like this. She should have never said anything. She didn't know what to say after that. She didn't know what to do. She had made the choice, because she was tired of hiding. She wanted to change the world. And she didn't know how it worked out, because then she had ended up here. She held his gaze for just a few more seconds, and then bolted out the door. She was a mess of emotions and she just couldn't take that look from him.
She didn't even know where she was going, she just knew she had to get away. Tears were streaming down her face.
