When Carla asked Melanie if she could borrow a book Melanie had recommended she read, Melanie replied,
- No. I don’t lend my books out, and I have several other friends who don’t lend theirs out either.
Melanie has every right to her own policy toward loaning things out, but by being so abrupt in her refusal, it felt like a diminishment of her friendship with Carla. When she brought in her friends, it felt like a pile on. This remark was also ironic since Melanie still had a book that Carla had loaned her years ago.
