Coincidence and the past - II

Later, Claire and Robert are over for dinner.
Claire (now joined in this debate, it involves her too, it was crucial moment in her life as well) can produce polaroids of her flat. Of parties.
The debate is enlarged, revised, extended.
What would Claire feel?
This is the moment she lost Paul to Claire (and as a consequence ended up with Robert, a dead-end).
She would fear being drawn into their domestic squabble.
She would wonder at her current situation and speculate at how it could have all been different (and then we see the power of the three-part version of the story, as we see this to be a false hope. Her relationship with Paul is not any better than the one with Robert).
All this time Robert is in the background, listening.
Claire is aware of injustice and the universe.
She gets angry. At this game playing.
What the hell does it matter?
This is more likely. She pretend anger with Robert, but she is more angry with the universe.
Why has she been left out of the scenario/been done such an injustice?
