I wanted to push him away, probably punch him in the face also but I'm Clara. He thinks I'm her and I have to be her. I took a deep breath, a wide smile on my face as I turned in his arms, finally looking at him. To my surprise, he was handsome, dark hair, strong jawline and I could see the confidence in his eyes. He knew Clara...maybe intimately. "I thought she has Jeremy, does she just fuck around now", I thought. "I got held up, I'm sorry," I managed, forcing Clara's sly smile onto my face, praying it looked convincing. "Uh-huh," he said, his voice a low rumble. He didn't believe me, but he didn't care.
