Days later, Greta finally agreed to meet Lila for coffee. There, Greta revealed her true feelings: she believed Lila had been losing weight to steal attention, especially because Greta’s ex-boyfriend Brian would be at the wedding. Greta even gave Lila an ultimatum: gain the weight back or leave her life. For the first time, Lila saw Greta’s insecurity clearly and chose to walk away, realizing she deserved to live her life without shrinking to fit someone else’s expectations.
Determined to reclaim her confidence, Lila focused on her health and happiness. Weeks later, she invited Greta to a double date. Greta arrived expecting Lila to have changed, but instead, Lila appeared radiant—on Brian’s arm. Greta was stunned and furious, ultimately storming out and declaring their friendship over. Lila stayed calm, knowing it had been over long before that moment.
As Greta left, Brian asked Lila on a real date, no jealousy involved this time. Lila agreed, ready to embrace a future free of toxic friendships. She learned that sometimes walking away from someone who doesn’t value you is the most powerful act of self-love.
