Quote #10
You lived there a long time, Wendy said. As long as she'd known Kate.
It was never a choice so much, she said. More of a habit. Your mom was there, and you guys. Which was basically my family. Only it wasn't completely, which is what I came to see. I was borrowing your mother's life. (32.149-150)
Kate has been Janet's best friend for so long that she doesn't know what to do without her—but she does know that New York City will never be the same for her again. So she decides to leave and start anew; maybe getting away from all the grief will help her heal.
