Analysis
Monique arrives back at her apartment, sits down on the couch, and puts her feet up on the coffee table, only then realizing that David brought the coffee table back for her. He left a note with it, including his lawyer’s business card and a message ending with, “Thank you for doing what I could not.” Monique doubts she would have ended her marriage, stood up to her boss, written a guaranteed bestseller, or understood her father’s love without Evelyn.
This is the second time Monique hasn’t paid much attention to her apartment when she returns to it, but this time, it’s not because she’s too busy with work—it’s because her reality has completely shifted around her. She knows she owes a lot to Evelyn, a fact that further complicates her anger toward Evelyn. This knowledge also seems to lead Monique back to Evelyn’s apartment the next day, if only subconsciously
