Harriette Cole was asked to be her friend's maid of honor after having a baby five months ago and being overwhelmed with other responsibilities. She declined, stating that she was already stretched and didn't feel like she could properly fulfill the responsibilities. Since her refusal, she has been increasingly distant and colder towards her friend. This has led to a rift between the two. Despite this, Cole has advised her friend to cut ties with the person he took in during a time of need.
