Emily eagerly anticipated the Christmas morning gift exchange with her fiancé, Mark. She saved up for months to surprise him with a PlayStation 5. The cozy living room was filled with holiday excitement as they gathered with Mark’s family. Mark generously gave his parents his old apartment keys and his brother the keys to his Mercedes.

Amidst happiness for Mark’s family, Emily wondered about her gift. Mark, with a bright smile, handed her a beautifully wrapped box. Her heart raced as she unwrapped it, expecting meaningful jewelry. To her shock, it was a keychain with “Love Always” engraved. Emily struggled to hide her disappointment, feeling overshadowed by Mark’s grand gestures to his family.
