The narrative revolves around a woman, Isadora, who is dealing with the terminal stages of stomach cancer and a crumbling marriage to her husband, Everett. The story begins when Isadora is asked by Everett to drive one of his lovers, a young and vibrant girl, home. During the car ride, Isadora reveals that this is not the first time she has driven one of Everett's conquests, and she warns the girl not to get too attached, as it will not end well.

Everett's behavior towards Isadora has changed; he is distant and uninterested in her, while showing interest in other women. He even plans to take one of them, Juliana, to a steakhouse that Isadora had been asking him to go to for months. This revelation causes Isadora deep pain, as she realizes that Everett may have genuine feelings for Juliana, unlike his previous casual relationships.

Isadora reflects on their past, recalling how they fought for their relationship against his parents' disapproval, and how they built a life together. However, after an incident where Isadora was seen with a friend, Jasper, whom Everett mistrusted, their relationship deteriorated. Isadora's attempts to mend things are met with coldness and accusations from Everett, who claims she has lost her passion and vigor.

Despite her own health issues, Isadora continues to care for Everett, but their interactions are strained. One day, at a drinking party, Everett is unusually protective, preventing Isadora from overindulging in alcohol, which is dangerous for her condition. Later, in the car, Isadora suffers a bout of nausea and discovers she is bleeding, likely due to her advanced cancer. Everett, noticing her discomfort, gives her a better quality stomach warmer patch than the one provided by Jasper, hinting at a change in his attitude.

The story concludes with a phone call from Juliana, who informs Isadora that she is pregnant, leaving Isadora in shock and despair, as it seems to mark the finality of her marriage to Everett. Despite the pain, Isadora admits that she has never regretted marrying Everett, and there is a glimmer of hope as Everett begins to stay home more and show some of the affection they once shared.
