She had cheated on Danny with her professor. Of course he was dead but Clara felt as if she had betrayed their love and insulted his memory.
You can't mourn him forever, you need to go out into the world and live your life, her grandmother had told her a few months earlier and that was when Clara had decided to go back to university. But her gran was doing the exact opposite. Her grandfather had died years ago and she had kept their apartment a shrine in his memory. Clara felt as if she ought to do the same, after all, her grandmother was the woman she had always admired the most.
