That Lowell had told Claire about the surgery and his sugar baby lifestyle - I simply assumed that the name of the doctor wouldn’t have come up. Normally things like that don’t come up in conversation unless someone specifically has an interest in who did the surgery. As an example, I have had surgery several times now, and not once has anyone asked me who the surgeon was.

Why I had it done, what exactly was done, did it hurt, can I see it, etc., are all common questions - but the name of the surgeon has never come up. Because of that, it seemed strange that Claire would a) know the surgeon’s name, and b) have mentioned it to Robert to find out that it was his brother. That seemed, and still seems suspicious as it is not something that comes up in normal conversation. Hence my comment. Perhaps I have a suspicious nature - but like I said this is not something that would normally be general knowledge or discussed in depth.

As to the marriage, it makes sense that Claire wants a more or less symbolic wedding to Lovey, and it isn’t unheard of for couples to renew their wedding vows some time after being originally married. It simply isn’t a legal procedure, but rather more spiritual or emotional.

Kind of like my spouse giving me an engagement ring to match my wedding band. I still wear my original wedding band, which has always been rather small and dainty - almost feminine - but it looked strange without an engagement ring to match. So she went out on her own and bought me one; I cried for a good ten minutes when she gave it to me and told me that she would marry me all over again. Perhaps you could add that to your story.
