“I see us. I see us driving through Spain. I see us at a sidewalk table, place with a red awning. I see us looking at somebody, like some tourist, and nudging each other and laughing” (157). This quote is significant because this quote is spoken to Karen by Maguire who she had went out with the night before. They had then gone up to Karen’s bedroom and did the dirt. and the next morning Maguire said this to her and so we can obviously conclude that Karen and Maguire have a relationship going on despite knowing that her husband doesn’t want her to have relationships with any other men.
