When Riley is hit with trouble focusing, she seeks help for the first time from a therapist. But the thing she least expects to be the issue to her problems, is the thing that she is least willing to give up.
RILEY (30’s) finds out that her ex, ELIJAH (30’s) has started seeing someone else after only 6 months of them separating. The news causes old memories to flare up, and she decides to seek help from a therapist called GILLIAN (50’s), who sees right through Riley’s jokes and confidence. After some discussion, Gillian points out that Riley still hasn’t moved on fully from her past relationship and urges her to question a sentimental item she kept with her, the ugly foldable couch she and Elijah bought together. Riley is adamant the couch has nothing to do with her problem, but after some push from Gillian, Riley realises it might be so. She puts the couch on Facebook marketplace and sells it to the first buyer, Ethan. For the first time in 6 months, Riley’s head is clear. She calls up the therapist’s office and decides to book another appointment.
