How It All Goes Down
- In Chicago, Therese takes a general office job.
- Without Carol, she feels like her life has been drained of all happiness.
- One night, Abby calls and wonders when Therese will return to New York.
- Therese wants to speak to Carol, but Carol is in Vermont "taking a rest" (22.26).
- Therese says she'll return with the car in ten days.
- One afternoon later, Therese has a special visitor: Dannie.
- He's heading to California to take a job, and he thought he'd see Therese along the way.
- Her prior landlady gave Dannie her new address.
- Dannie says Therese looks different, "Grown up all of a sudden" (22.70).
- She tells Dannie she will never see Carol again, so asks if she would ever see another woman, and Therese says no.
- She says she will write him, and the two part ways—Dannie to California, Therese back to New York.
