I thought he wasn't expecting me to snap at him, so Claude stared at me in disbelief, "Is this what you've learned after leaving home for a few days? I'm not just your brother. I'm also your guardian!" His face turned a shade of stormy gray, visibly angered. But I couldn't care less. "Claude, do you have to wait until I'm dead because of her to believe me?"

As Claude and I were about to lose it in a hysterical argument, Kate stepped in, "Claude, let me talk to Claire, please. No more fighting. Don't fight because of me."

Kate said, "Claude, go inside. I need to talk to Claire."
