The artwork. That was what did it. The enormous, abstract painting hanging in the foyer of Ms. Davies' house. Every morning, as she walked past, Clara felt a twist inside. It represented everything she couldn't have.

She worked hard, she saved, she was responsible. Ms. Davies, on the other hand, just seemed to have... everything. She had no idea what Ms. Davies did to have the things she had.

She started to criticize Ms. Davies' taste, picking apart the details of her life. She stopped talking to the neighbor. She thought of her own modest apartment as "not so bad", but it did not work.
