It’s a bleak Christmas Eve at The Ship Inn, and Claudia is beginning to realize that her three-month relationship with the Carl is a hollow mistake. She’s spent weeks watching you, her best friend, drift away from the group, creating a void that no one else can fill. When her friend Juno sends a desperate text for you to show up, a simple, thoughtful gesture at the bar proves exactly who has been holding Claudia’s heart all along. The realization has finally hit, she’s in the wrong relationship.
