"Claire you're father can be very confusing at some points. At first he was happy but then he wasn't and he left me. I decided that if he wasn't going to come back I would raise you on my own. Hey in fact your Uncle Luke offered to help raise you with me. But in the end your father came back and not long after we got married."
Claire looked at her mother, "So you did date Uncle Luke. What happened?"
"We were young and didn't know any better. But we thought it would be best if we stayed just friends. And that's what we are, best friends."
Christine made sure Claire was better before she went back to her bedroom. Once in the bedroom she started giving Bo the silent treatment, still mad at what he said earlier. She got into bed and Bo looked at her, "So how long should I expect you to not talk to me this time?"
She looked at Bo, "All these years and now you decide to tell me how you feel?"
"I didn't mean for it to come out like that."
"Oh so what you wanted to make it sound like I was even worse? Why don't you tell Claire what you did. How you proposed to me only cause you were afraid I'd leave you, not because you loved me."
"And I know I've messed up in the past and I am so very sorry about tonight."
Christine turned to Bo, "I'm not the one who you need to talk to now. Claire needs to know that you love her. I know you love all your kids, but she needs to know that her father loves her."
Bo nodded, "I'll talk to her first thing in the morning."
The next morning Christine woke up to Bo shaking her awake. "Bo what is it," she got up seeing Bo panicking about something. "Bo calm down and tell me."
"It's Claire. I went to go talk to her. And her door was opened so I went in, and her clothes were gone. Christine our daughter ran away."
