Claire couldnt sleep, Norman was in her head and her heart was breaking furthermore for Sean. Quietly sneaking out of bed where Sean was sleeping Claire creeped downstairs and decided to pen Norman a letter.
Norman,
I cant imagine what this is like for you, because for me my heart is broken, I love Sean, but its nothing on my love for you, when he died i buried him along with everything we ever had, I have to be a good wife and stand by my marriage but i want you to know i will never get over you. You are my true love and my one and only soulmate. I dont want you thinking i ditched you and my feelings because i dont love you. I had to. And it kills me knowing ill never be with you.
Love you always, Claire. Xx
Folding the letter up she hid it in her handbag ready to deliver tomorrow and she went back to bed, able to fall asleep now she had penned her feelings down.

Sean woke early and went to speak to the realtors about selling the house and finding a new one. Claire got dressed and made her way to Norman's garage to hand him the letter.
Pulling up outside she got out and walked through to the front desk, there were a lot of people waiting and Norman looked busy, She decided to leave it and head home without Norman noticing her. Unlocking her car she heard a voice that was able to give her butterflies at any time "Claire..wait up!" Norman called after her, running out to her as she turned around she admired him in his overalls and his hands and arms covered in car grease, it was strangely sexy. "You okay?" He said catching his breath "um..i came here to give you this." She stammered with nerves. "Just read it" she added placing the folder paper in his hands "not here though" she said stopping him from opening it in front of her. Norman gave an understanding nod biting his lip. "How is he?" Norman whispered getting closer to Claire "he is good." She responded giving a flat smile. "See ya around i guess?" He said placing the letter in his pocket and putting an awkward hand on her arm.

Driving home Claire listened to Celine Dion and cried, the music didnt help her situation but she felt she needed to let the tears out before arriving home. Sean was back as his car was on the drive. "Find anything?" Claire called our at she opened the door and chucked her keys on the table. "I got brochures!" He called from the kitchen. "You pick" he smiled sliding the brochures over to her. As she browsed through Sean placed his arms around her waist taking her out of her trance "i think we should renew our vows" he mentioned kissing her sweetly on her cheek. Claire gave a fake smile "yea" she sighed "start afresh new house, new marriage..new everything" he said. Claire nodded. "Im going to go take a shower" she said slapping the brochures shut and trying to hide her guilty feeling of not being happy. "I could join you?" Sean flirted with a wink. "Can i just shower alone?!" She snapped making Sean let go of her as she stormed upstairs frantically bolting the bathroom door shut and instantly running the shower so powerful he wouldnt be able to hear her tears.
