In fact, however, when Doug trailed, sweet-talked and seduced Claire into a romantic relationship in order to find out what she knew and oh so charmingly and subtly warned her "not to talk to the Feds, o else!"
it was clear that he had immediate and lasting control over her, and it was also obvious when he told her "If I lose te now, I will regret it for the rest of my life". Claire refused to write Doug out of her life, even though she eventually learned the truth about who he was; that he was one of the four Townie men who'd knocked over her bank and taken her hostage only two days before. This, in my opinion, is not a healthy, normal kind of Amore at all, and Claire clearly suffers from the Stockholm Syndrome. The following link provides good information and describes Claire (almost) perfectly, imho:
