Hi everybody. I've just joined the community but have been reading you for some time.
I feel sorry for Clara. This couple is the one I like best.

Does that mean that Tim made Clara feel that she HAD TO do it ?
As to the break up story, I've reconstructed this : :
on Monday evening Zoi & Tim were visiting Arnie & Karla and I noticed that Tom was alone in the dark in the kitchen, talking on the phone, walking around as if the conversation was rather tense. I didn't pay much attention, as I am not interested in Tim for reasons that have often been mentioned in your posts. But I noticed that when he went back with the others, he looked a bit worried. At one moment he left the apt. Just a few moments later, Clara came into her apt, went straight next to the kitchen window cam, talking on the phone and sounding quite worried. Tim could be seen waiting at the door of the apt. I gather now that his conversation may have been with Stas, and that Clara was talking with Stas. Clara spent only one minute in the flat and rushed out, looking very worried. (at that moment I imagined that Stas might have had an accident or something and that she was talking to a hospital or the police.)
All this did not seem to worry Tim too much as we could see when he came back home, but I don't expect much either from him...
Clara came back much later into the night and went straight to bed, burying herself under the blankets, after what must have been a very harsh argument with Stas, then sat as she is on Sparkles cap, reading and texting and phoning with that worried and desperate look. She then sat silent, devastatated while Stas was packing without even looking at her.
Well, this is how I reconstruct things from what I saw. Until I saw Stas packing I had thought Clara was so worried because he was in hospital or something like that. The news of a breakup was quite a surprise.
All this is a pity because they seem (I'm still using the present) to be a very loving couple, with lots of passion and complicity and this is why I like them. I do hope for them that this is not a breakup but just a crisis and that, as has been annouced by Jabbath quoting James, he will come back. Stas has felt humiliated, which is quite understandable, and the scene when he pached is also humiliating to her as it - and its causes - is public. It was very silly of Clara but he seems to love her so much that I hope he is missing her in spite of his resentment and will come back to her soon.
And Clara sitting so sad is a sorry sight but, well, this is my romantic side ;-)
