Is this sly? Aibu ?

[nerecdd]

Me and a friend both wanted a particular hard to find candle (I know first world probs )
I wanted a different scent to hers.
We had tried a few times and couldn't find it.
She said her cousin had managed to find the one I wanted but not hers.
I thanked her and transferred the £15
She said she would let me know when her cousin dropped it off.

Tonight we were on the phone and she said
"Sorry my mum decided she liked the candle so kept it"

So what happened was she would rather keep it than give it to me.
Nothing to do with her mum
Do you think it's a bit sneaky ?

I love Autumn, the leaves turn brown, friends start acting sly...

To add, sly is also used colloquially in this sense in the Liverpool area.

Why doesn't she do online banking? That sounds like an excuse.

So is this autumn duvet woman or her mate?

There's such a thing as particularly desirable, hard to get candles that friends go looking for on your behalf? It's a whole other world.

I'm obviously the wrong person to ask but yes it's a bit off, but nothing to fall out with a friend over, as long as you get your money back. .

@ManAlive24 seasonal duvet was the first thing that came to my mind too!
