As the New Year approached, she wanted to give her boyfriend a handmade scarf. She knit and unraveled it repeatedly, spending a month perfecting it.
Since she had always been pampered and this was her first scarf, she imagined his surprised expression. On the night she finished it, she happily wrapped the scarf around him, only for her boyfriend to remove it disdainfully, saying, “I don’t like wearing scarves, and this color isn’t nice!”
Her heart instantly felt cold. Feeling dejected, she went home and tossed the scarf onto the couch.
When her father came home, he mistook it for his and wrapped it around himself with a beaming smile.
She turned away, tears streaming down her face.
