Dahlia was thrilled when her sister, Fran, gifted her a couch for her new apartment. “Your gift is waiting downstairs. Come on, you’re gonna love it,” Fran said with a smirk. Despite her excitement, Dahlia felt uneasy about Fran’s extravagant gift, knowing her sister’s financial struggles.

Later, Dahlia discovered the couch was infested with bedbugs. Rob, her friend, woke her up in the middle of the night, exclaiming, “Dahlia, wake up! Your couch is full of bedbugs! You have to get rid of it!” Feeling betrayed, Dahlia confronted Fran, who admitted her jealousy. “I’m tired of you always having everything together while I’m struggling,” Fran confessed.

Their argument escalated, with Dahlia accusing Fran of selfishness. “You’ve always been selfish, Fran. Always thinking about yourself,” Dahlia said, her voice breaking. Fran stormed out, leaving their relationship in tatters.

Reflecting on her actions, Fran realized she needed to make amends. She called Dahlia, saying, “I’m so, so sorry for everything.” Dahlia, wary but willing to forgive, invited Fran over to talk. They began to rebuild their bond, acknowledging the hard work and misunderstandings that had strained their relationship. Despite the challenges, they remained hopeful for their future as sisters.
