After her husband dies, however, Avey goes on a West Indian cruise and begins having anxious dreams about a great-great-aunt. She makes plans to escape her anxiety by returning to New York City; while waiting for her flight, she relives memories of her marriage and how distanced she and her husband had both grown even from their own private ceremonies and gestures.
