Charisse and Gomez

Clare and Gomez 

Charisse and Gomez are Clare's best friends and roommates. They are in love and end up getting married before Clare and Henry do. Gomez has a hopeless crush on Clare and always will. He always looks at Clare different than he looks at Charisse and it kills her. Charisse is the mother of Gomez's three children but that does not seem to be enough for Gomez he still wants what he cannot have which is Clare. When Gomez found out about Henry's condition he tried to convince Clare to get away from him and not have anything to do with him anymore. That was the first time of many that he would try and tell Clare to leave Henry but it would never work. Charisse is Clare's best friend from college. She moved in with Charisse and Gomez once she finished college and once she met Henry in her present she moved out of their house soon after.
