After hearing Clara's words, Hera was so shocked that she couldn't speak or think anything. Suddenly she seemed unaware of the language the other girl spoke because her words sounded alien to Hera. It took her time to process the actual meaning behind Clara's question.
A few seconds later, Hera lifted her lashes to look at Clara. A smug smile gleamed on Clara's face as if she won the war against the world. "Wow, Hera! I waited for so long to see this look on your face. Now I am at peace," Clara admitted with a satisfied smirk. She touched the undersides of her eyes, and her fingers brushed aside the tears. The moisture in her eyes vanished as if she never cried in front of Hera.
Clara's pain and discomfort also disappeared along with her tears as the earlier hatred, anger, and disgust returned to her eyes.
"Now you know your boyfriend's true face," Clara spat out the words through her clenched teeth.
