Fran and Lauren are happily playing together. They are chatting away and appear to be enjoying each other's company. That is, until they both reach for the same toy and an argument ensues.
Fran reacts and hits Lauren. She instantly realises that Lauren is hurt and offended, so tries to make friends. Fran then apologises and gives Lauren a cuddle. But Lauren is still upset and shows Fran that she is not yet ready to make up by turning away from her.
