Morwenna turned back, "Dahlia, this is the end of the line for us. If you bring up the Hetfield Group with me again, I'll go straight to Stuart. You know how he can be. I doubt you'd want to see how he'd react towards the Scotts." Dahlia was stunned, quickly responding, "Morwenna! Ending our friendship over something so minor?"

Morwenna said nothing more, just opened the door and left.

Some people reserve their kindness for the underdog in trivial matters. But once you truly get to know them, you find fundamental differences that cannot be reconciled. Morwenna never wasted energy on things she couldn't change. If they weren't aligned, why put in the effort? Morwenna simply walked away, leaving a bewildered Dahlia behind.

Dahlia couldn't comprehend where things had gone wrong. Wasn't she good enough to Morwenna? She had shown Morwenna nothing but kindness since the semester started-showing her around campus, accompanying her to the cafeteria, even ensuring Morwenna didn't feel out of place by eating lots of sandwiches together, so others wouldn't look at Morwenna differently. She had done so much; wasn't it enough?

Why end a friendship over such a trivial matter? Just passing along a message, making a connection-it wasn't a loss for Morwenna, was it really worth ending their friendship over? Dahlia felt a pang of unjustified hurt.
